| I view photography as a way to focus on closely observing my favorite places and especially my favorite light - before sunrise, at twilight and sunset, and after dark when the moon and stars are out. My photographs have won numerous awards, including the Eisner Prize, the top prize for the arts at the University of California at Berkeley, for two consecutive years in 1991 and 1992. I have also won photography awards in national magazines, and my images have been published in Islands, Hemispheres, Outdoor & Travel Photography, and the South China Morning Post. My images are shot on 35mm transparency film, or more recently using a digital SLR, and are displayed “as shot”. I use Photoshop to match the final print to the scene as I observed it, but not to manipulate color or content. In addition to lugging my tripod around the Eastern Sierra, I have worked for a wireless information company, as an advisor to the Chinese government,as a campaign consultant for the Vice President of Taiwan, as an environmental consultant, as a fast-food chef, a database programmer, a painter, and a paperboy. |
