Artist Statement
Current works focus on historic, pre-historic and "roadside attractions". Traveling the country's backroads I've found subject matter from the countries oral tradition days and "left overs" from the time before there was the national interstate highway program of the '60's. These images, combined with hand coloring, have provided direction in my work reminiscent of picture postcards of the '50's.
Additional images presented in this portfolio represent work done in Oaxaca, Mexico. The images are iconic in style representing snapshot impressions of everyday life in the city. These are traditional black & white gelatin silver selenium toned photographs.
I personally print each photo using traditional black and white silver based processing on fiber based paper, toning the prints in a selenium toning solution contributes to image permanence. Some of my photos include handcoloring small areas of the photograph which adds visual depth to the images
