title
Farrago Series
Abstract images: composites created from details of found objects; shot at multiple locations throughout the US.
I have been a habitué of classic car boneyards ever since
I bought my 1936 Pontiac at age 15. While rummaging about for parts
I discovered incredible visual compositions in the distressed iron and glass
that inspired me in the same way as did some of the best abstract art.
This experience was a sea change; I swapped my toolbox for a camera.
I was fortunate to study with Aaron Siskind at Rhode Island School of Design
and graduated with a BFA in Photography in 1974. I have further studied at
The Maine Photographic Workshops (now Maine Media Workshops), taking workshops
with Paul Caponigro, Arnold Gassen and John Loengard.
I started shooting film & developing both color & black & white images in my darkroom;
I now shoot digitally and print with archival inks on various archival media.
My studio is in Cumberland Center, Maine,
