  • Greetings and thanks for taking a look at my web site! I hope you find an image or two here that piques your interest.

    In case you were wondering....I am a self taught photographer who has strayed from the saftey of the business world into the less predictable realm of the arts. The images you are viewing reflect my varied interests: nature, music, and form. There are so many captivatiang subjects for the camera that it is impossible for me to ignore several in order to concentrate on one.

    This is also apparent as I shoot, process, print and present the final image. Starting with a vision of the finished work in my mind, I then back-track from that vision to choose the most effective process to be used. The possibilities include using fiber-based B&W silver imaging, (some may include hand-coloring with oils), using R4 color chemistry, scanning negatives to manipulate and printing digitally. I process and print all my own work with the exception of the printing of a few very large images which are printed to my specifications.

    The finished works are exhibited in fine art shows and a few galleries between Marquette Michigan and Key West Florida.

    My studio is located in Farwell, Michigan where I have a small organic farm with my wife Emily who is a farrier and operates Chase Farm Farrier Service.
