I work in large format film (4x5” negatives), develop and print my own black and white images by hand in both traditional wet and dry darkrooms.

Born in Canoga Park, CA in 1977, I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula, where such photographic masters as Edward and Brett Weston, Ansel Adams, and Wynn Bullock lived and worked. After moving to Oregon and spending six years there, I came to Colorado where I have resided for the past ten years, near Aspen.

My wife, Lili Belmont is an accomplished painter from Germany who also frequently exhibits internationally.  Every few months I finish new projects, working in the studio, landscape, or out on the road, both in the United States and abroad.
