> My photography employs minimalist classical shooting techniques which offer a throwback alternative to computer driven modern photography. This approach carries the label Forensic Foraging in a nod to the plodding techniques of early crime scene pictorial work. Forensic Foraging is not in direct competition with any other shooting approach. It is only a carefully considered recognition that the basic techniques which made photography great in the first place can still have considerable relevance in today’s digital world.  
> I seek to lift everyday subjects up into pleasing eye candy by recording them in a visual frame. I closely follow Gary Winogrand’s dictate to shoot a scene just to see how it looks in a photograph. I practice a diverse form of street photography which utilizes heavy color saturation, creative framing, funky angles, and reversion to monochrome when indicated. I do not own any post processing or AI software. Not surprisingly I venerate the work of Stephen, Shore, Bill Eggleston, Fred Herzog, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and Vivian Maier. Additionally, I owe my very existence as a photographer to the Pulitzer Prize winning shooters who mentored me in Vietnam where I was a combat photojournalist.

  
I am an extremely eclectic in my work. I have long travelled our country looking for the hidden mundane things to elevate for the viewer. I have no idea if my shots qualify as art. I initially take them only for myself but then I eventually share some of them. Viewers get to decide if I ever cross over the artistic threshold.

 Nowadays old age has me working mostly in North Carolina. I shoot with vintage, lightweight Fujifilm point and shoot cameras. They help make the old age walk about easier. I strongly believe that I don’t need a high end venue to get a solid image. Beauty and things of interest abound all around us. I seek to bring this out with my camera.

I am also a writer of short stories. These plots spring from my travels and they often involve photography. They also reflect my lifelong respect for Rod Serling and THE TWILIGHT ZONE. I have published four books which contain both photography and my short stories.. They are available at Amazon.com
