Admittedly, I am definitely late to the Blogosphere.
This is more of an attempt to keep current on updating the website and sharing more of the process that takes place behind the finished photographs and to acknowledge many of the people that make my process of making photography possible on a daily basis.
Personally, I have not been able to find the words to express how fortunate I am to have a career built around exploring the natural world and recording my experience with the aid of a camera. When not engaged in creating my own works, I have the incredible, good fortune to spend my days teaching others about the art, science, and magic of photography.
Regarding my personal photographic work, I have spent much of the past year in a desperate struggle with Fuji Acros 100 ASA film while photographing the Alapaha and Dead Rivers near Jasper, Florida. On my Suwannee River Trip, I had reasonable success with Fuji Acros and Kodak D-76 developer but for the past year I've not produced a satisfactory negative with this combination no matter how much I retarded the development time. I have been spending amazing time on the rivers, in some of the most beautiful scenery, with my friends and colleagues: Julie Bowland, Todd Bertolaet, and last but not least Bryan Garris (Author of portrait on my About page.). Did I mention Bryan Garris!?! Thank you Bryan Garris for finally convincing me to abandon my quest to make Fuji Acros and D-76 work together!!! I have gone back to the beginning, embraced my Kodak TMAX 100 ASA roots and now with the addition of Accufine developer I am one of the happiest photographers on the planet. Moving into the new year, I am super excited about recent results with this combination and can't wait to spend more time on the Dead River with wonderful people.
