The human eye sees the world in three dimensions and in vivid color. The camera and film perceive the world in two dimensions and in drab grays. I am challenged to take that lifeless, gray impression from film and transform it into a wholly textural image, full with shadow, depth and substance. Thereby, I can allow the observer to see life in the image which has been captured. This labor of love drives me to the medium of photography.
Greg has been largely self-taught in fine-art black-and-white photography, having extensively studied the works and technical writings of many accomplished photographers and gradually refined his own approach through hands-on practice, patient experimentation, and careful observation.
His passion for traditional black and white photography and the darkroom began more than forty years ago. Over this time, Greg has been intensely devoted to his personal and artistic development in the pursuit of fine art photography.
He regularly participates in curated shows and in both group and solo exhibitions. His work has received many honors and has also been featured in prominent photographic magazines.
His images have been collected nationwide and can be widely found in business and public venues as well as in private collections.
I am inspired to play a role in carrying on the rich tradition of large format conventional photography as its history progresses through time, contributing to its ongoing legacy. The creative process of capturing an image on film deeply stimulates me. Then, through the careful science and subtle art of the darkroom, I take pleasure in transforming the exposed negative into a finely crafted traditional silver-gelatin photograph.
