Stories and Handmade Silver Gelatin Photographs from the Ozark National Scenic Riverways

I spend time with the free-roaming wild horses of Shannon County, Missouri, learning the individual animals, following their families, and photographing their lives within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

My goal is simple:

Know the horses. Tell their stories. Make photographs that matter.

Handmade Silver Gelatin Prints

Selected Wild Horses of Missouri photographs continue into my darkroom, where I create real black-and-white film negatives and use them to make traditional silver gelatin photographs on fiber paper.

It is not simply a digital image reproduced on paper or outsourced to a lab.

It is a physical photograph made by my hands in my darkroom.

Selected works are available as large gallery prints, including 30×40 and 40×50 inches.

Pictorial Whispers

Memory, Absence, Endurance, and What Remains

Pictorial Whispers is my deeply personal photographic work about grief, memory, absence, endurance, and the quiet ways we continue carrying the people we love.

The work develops slowly through handmade photographic processes, physical materials, light, and the darkroom.
