All photographs on this site were taken with one of several homemade pinhole cameras - either a small cardboard box wrapped in black plastic and electrical tape, or a slightly more elaborate panorama version. Both cameras are designed to hold 120 mm film.

My interest in pinhole photography began in 1988 when a friend gave me a camera he'd made for a class he was teaching. I'd studied fine art in school, and I found that pinhole images had a painterly quality and the immediacy of drawings; I was hooked.

Over the years I've found myself pointing the camera at landscapes, people, and architecture. But the ideas I've come back to again and again have to do with relationships and the tension between order and chaos. Sometimes I find this tension in the repetition of forms, sometimes in the juxtaposition of industry with nature. And sometimes the tension is just between my formal aesthetic and the messy process of pinhole photography - I never know what the final image is going to look like. But whatever the tension, there's always a relationship and dialogue, and in that dialogue I find beauty, and a reflection of our relationship with the larger world.
