I was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in English Literature, intending to teach college level English. About that time I discovered photography, found I had a knack for it, and never went back to graduate school. Ironically, the subject matter of the very first roll of film I shot was buildings -- shots of the beautiful old buildings in Pioneer Square in Seattle.
That was many years ago now. I have been photographing architecture and interiors, primarily houses but also commercial buildings, for more than twenty years professionally. My clients tend to be architects, builders, interior designers, magazines, developers, ad agencies, building products manufacturers; anyone in the home building and selling industry in need of high quality photographs.
Of all the artistic media, I believe that architecture is the one that most directly touches our daily lives. My role is to appreciate and elucidate that architecture. My favorite quotation about photography is by Cartier-Bresson and expresses pretty well my feelings about the art and craft of picture making: "to take photographs is to find the structure of the world - to revel in the pure pleasure of form, to disclose that in all this chaos, there is order."
