(b Marshfield, WI, 1 May 1950; r Wausau, WI). Developed his interest in photography while taking a course as part of his Graphic Design curriculum at Milwaukee Area Technical College. Early on his focus was on nature and wildlife subjects. After honing these traditional skills he began experimenting with black and white infrared on a variety of subjects. An interest in auto racing led to a commitment to conquering the challenging techniques of capturing this fast paced sport. Most recently he has been working with digital panoramic photography. The panoramic format expands the possibilities of the composition in documenting rural and city scapes near his home. A fascination with the characteristics of traditional black and white infrared film remains. With its accentuated grain and slightly soft appearance, images that evoke an abstract surreal appearance are created.
