About my artwork

I’ve kept a daily written journal since 1994. Since middle school I’ve taken snapshots. In 1997 I bought a date stamp Leica Mini-lux and this practice became my Visual Journal. In late 2007 I lost this camera to malfunction. I received a free camera phone, which I now use for my snapshots. I call it my FoneCam. In the late ‘80’s I did some language paintings, which at some point I called my daily journal. I now use Photoshop to create text pieces. I use a 10”x8” studio view camera to take B+W portraits, making contact prints.
