Izu Shimoda Japan 1984
This book showcases a series of photographs of the Japanese town of Izu Shimoda. A resort - fishing - farming community about three hours south of Tokyo, it represented for me the authentic Japan. It was not the uber-urban Tokyo, nor the steeped in tradition Kyoto. These photographs, my only major black and white series, were shot with a 4X5 camera when I spent the better part of a year living in Shimoda and Tokyo. The work was exhibited in St. Paul and in Japan.

A Ticket To Ride
Amusement parks and carnivals have been a recurring theme in my work. From county fairs, to classic Midwestern parks, this series of photographs explore these vernacular masterpieces of architecture and design. Devoid of people and shot with a 4X5 camera in the early morning or late in the evening, the images become an exploration of light, motion and form while maintaining the documentary nature of large format photography.

Where We Live Photographs of America from the Berman Collection
The book-catalog from the J. Paul Getty Show Where We Live: Photographs of America from the Berman Collection contains all of the photographs in the exhibit including ten of my farigraound images. Berman's collection captured the essence of large format color documentary photography from the 1970s to the end of the 20th century and clearly shows the importance of this type of photography. Alas, it is out of print but it is still available used on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
