Photographing ancient sites has been my love since 1980 when commissioned to illustrate two books on ancient Egypt. I didn’t know it then, but my work was influenced by 19th century travel photographers who documented far-away exotic habitat and imposing temples using glass negatives. Through the years my photographic journeys to the Mideast include Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. These lands are living remnants of a dramatic ancient history mostly unknown in the west.

Back home and in search of a nearby ancient land, I traveled to Mexico, Guatemala and Southwestern United States where I found another historic world to photograph, both pre-Hispanic and Hispanic sites. These ventures resulted in thousands of fascinating images.

A third collection of images comes from my present hometown, Dallas, where I just published my third city book entitled, “Dallas: Where Dreams Come True”. I regularly photograph new architecture for architects, designers and construction companies, mostly in the Southwest, with an occasional trip to Philadelphia or Florida.

Clean, sharp, well-composed, beautifully lit imagery that most perfectly represents both exterior, interior and detail subjects is important to me. I work with mostly 4x5, 2 1/4x 2 1/4" and 6x17 formats, and strive to produce imagery that is both bold and dramatic, sensitive and intricate, and to best represent the architectural vision-- whether ancient or contemporary.

My loyal Dallas assistant is Leon the dog.
