Silver Portfolio

I started this body of work as a simple observer and a witness to the awesome power and beauty of nature. As my work progressed I began to focus on the impact of a human presence. I began to study areas that were once occupied and then abandoned. I began to study areas that only saw an occassional visitor and were protected from human influence. The majority of these images were captured in Missouri, Kansas , and Arkansas.I concentrate on contrast, lighting, and form_searching for the scene that truly lends itself to the black and white media.
