[Updated Spring 2010] Some amazing and outstanding work, often underrepresented, and as digital images which do not do justice to the originals. There is a lot more I would like to show, but it is not always convenient to make slides, scan photographs, or convert digital. For work dating back to 1998, there are often only a few images from the actual sets. If your work is missing here, contact me and arrange to send images.
The image quality has varied with the use of a number of different flatbed scanners and film scanners used at Columbia, and my own various devices. Image manipulation has shifted over the years, starting with Photoshop, then with Paint Shop Pro, and currently with the Gimp.
Most images are under 600 pixels wide, at times reduced to 8-bit color depth, and vary from 125 to 600 dpi. Jpegs are compressed 65 percent to the edge of acceptability. Gamma has been adjusted for the PC standard, rather than Mac. A 1024x768 screen is recommended, although a 640x480 will do. But set your monitor for 24 bit operation, especially for B&W images.
Many files are large by internet standards. If all of the images do not expand, blame your browser's cache settings, your computor's RAM, or figure you have a slow connection to the internet.
Many images are work prints from intermediate work, or contact proofs (including digital proofs) where finish in terms of density and contrast is missing. These are not the final presentation prints. As a viewer, I ask you to consider the imaginative completion of an assignment, or the compositional finesse - not the physical aspects. Most view-camera projects presented here look easy for a 35mm camera, but strain the limits for a 4x5 camera.
Sorry this index file is so large. There are over 3000 files here, representing about 190 people (2010). When I get to 200, I'll start removing some work.
At the bottom of this page are some portraits and random work from [some classes].

A Collection of Excuses
- "I didn't have time to finish. You know what I mean?"
- "Yes, that's a good idea."
- "This is the first of a series."
- "I'm going to continue to shoot."
- "I'll do my real work this summer."
- "Really, tell me what I need to do."
- "I'd like to point out the errors."
- "I'll have to redo it."
- "Out-of-focus is my aesthetic."
- "It's supposed to look like this."
- "It's about role models."
- "I meant to do that."
- "I dropped it on the way to final critique."
- "It's an ongoing project."
- "I'm going to make these changes."
- "It just happened that way."
- "I like it contrasty."
- "It's part of the piece."
-- Thanks to Simon Cygielski for developing the collection.
