I started out photographing the Columbia Gorge with a humble Minolta XG-1 in 1991. I shot miles of rolls of film, learning the craft, composition, and why the film selected makes a difference. I learned about Ansel Adams’ work in the 1980’s, but reacquained myself with it in the 1990’s, and marveled at the detail. That’s why i have tge camera shown on the right. I still use it, and operate a darkroom in my house to develop the film and print. I also employ modern digital camera and editing software. I have my feet in both worlds, but my true love is film.
