An April shower...
see that thirsty
mouse lapping
River Sumida

Issa

Having set up my first darkroom at the age of 14, working in large format since 1988, I have sought to capture with each trip of the shutter, simply a moment in an unfolding universe expressed in the natural world. As well, I’ve sought to document subjects of some relevance, the transformed, the threatened, unique or unnoticed, which bear some significance or poignancy in portraying our relationship with our environment, the poetry in the way we find a landscape and in the way we leave it.
