Technical Information
 
Before 2002 He worked many exposures onto the one sheet of film in segments, using textures and subtle layers of light, to carefully build his expressive and sensual images.

Since 2002 the registration and blending process has been done with a computer.  The final file is then used to make the print
 
 Artistic Statement
 
Basically, I create these images because I receive an immense pleasure from doing them.   However, I can also say with all my pictures I am attempting to create a simple communion with reality.  The use of multiple exposures allows me to “de-familiarize” a subject just enough to see it in a new manner.  I change reality, but don’t lose it.  In fact, I change it, to find it.
