darkroom
I began working in traditional color photography as digital equipment and processes gained popularity. As a painter, I was interested in light and color as elements and tools in my photography; at the time I felt best employing these tools in the darkroom.
Working in the darkroom is a meditative process; watching the image reveal itself in front of one’s eyes is a private, patient activity that requires you to devote your attention to one singular image at a time, and to rely on your own skills and judgment to produce a work that has the ability to communicate your deliberate message.
