I've been taking photos most of my life, concentrating on black-and-white film photography. I develop and print my own photos, but I also take a lot of digital photos in colour and black and white.
I believe nothing can replace the quality and detail of an optical photographic print. Yet. I have entirely stopped getting colour negs printed (they are all printed digitally here now), and I believe this era will be known as the "crap photo print" era of history.
So, I am distributing all my digital photos freely, so that people can view them on digital media, and maybe print them in 20 years when the technology catches up!
I use only natural light, and I try to avoid fancy effects. The world is astounding just as it is, I think.

Hi all I am progressively making all my photos here available for full-size download and releasing them under Creative Commons. You can see this if you click on "Abandoned structure". So download and send to all your friends! Also I'm making the prints available for very close to cost price, so if you don't have a good printer at home, order yourself a copy in any size you want! Enjoy and spread the love!

Thanks! I love your stuff. I'm suffering a huge swing back to black and white too myself, as you can see.

Hey there,

We are a club dedicated to promoting respect to women and artists alike. Too many accounts are created on DA solely for the purpose of

ing nude and fetish artwork for nothing more than to stare at. We work hard for our art and believe it's worth equal treatment and appreciation. We would love to have you join our army and promote respect for artists.
