I am a photographer and videographer in Dallas, Texas. While my corporate work uses modern digital processes, my black and white darkroom work uses only traditional film, chemistry, silver gelatin photographic paper and vintage cameras, with no scanning or digital printing. My work has been focused on Lith Printing for the last several years, which is in most respects similar to standard darkroom printing, except that highly diluted graphic arts film developer is used in place of standard paper developer. It is a difficult process to master and often involves very long paper exposure and development times, but produces unique colors, tonality and contrast on the final print. Very few photographic papers are manufactured today that work with this process, and the best prints come from papers that were discontinued from twenty to forty years ago.

More recently I've been working with silver gelatin photo emulsion on canvas or carbon steel, which I often tint with oil paints. The canvas work involves shooting models on life-sized sets, and then building small scale model backgrounds. These two images are composited in the darkroom manually, using no scanning or Photoshop.
