Mill valley California

The photographic work presented in my gallery begins with the 3M Color-In-Color copier work from 1974-1975* and ends with current projects through 2010. It is not a complete survey of all of the work, nor are all of the images from these projects presented here. I will continue to post more photos from these serial projects until the portfolios are completed in 2011. 


"San Onofre Surf Culture" explores a diverse beach culture at a historic southern California State park. The photos were taken over a three week period in the summer of 2005.

"The Natural Reserve System" (NRS) is a photographic survey of the University of California's NRS. Over 34 unique geographical reserves stretching from a salt water marsh in San Diego to the pine forest of Mendoncino county to the north and the Sacramento Mountains overlooking the Colorado river to the east. 1995-2005.

"East Mojave Cinder Cone Field" In the east Mojave desert of southern California in an area just east of city of Baker a National National Wonder. This area is  volcanic field of various sized cinder cones on the western escarpment of Cima Dome. 2000

"Southern Living" is a photographic exploration of apartment communities in the south eastern United States, from Texas to Florida. This body of work was shot in both color and in monochrome format. 1978-1984. Work printed in Cibachrome.

* 3M Color-In-Color. The first color copier manufactured was introduced to the market in 1974 by 3M. However the machines continued to break down, were costly to maintain and in 1975 3M pulled the copiers off the market and closed shop. The body of the work shown here was produced by a grant from 3M corporation. Much of the work in this gallery has been in Light-storage for over 30 years with very little fading.
