Before cameras

Before cameras, images were drawn by hand or burned by light on metal salts. Photography began as experiment and accident—light striking chemistry into permanence. Every print since then, mine included, carries a bit of that wonder: the world captured, fixed, and held still long enough to be seen anew. My work follows that lineage of patience—Pacific light, shifting weather, quiet places rendered with care. Each print is archival, tangible, and meant to remind us that seeing is a physical act, rooted in time, materials, and the human urge to remember.
