Excuse Our Dust

We launched this site more than three years ago, and now it's time for a
face lift.  We're just finishing our latest expansion, and now we need to
feature our new restaurant, art gallery and new staff members.

We're adding lots of new content and new features, so be patient.

Thanks!

He was Ansel Adams' Photographic Assistant in Carmel from 1974 to 1979, and was integrally involved in Adams' books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. He has been exclusive printer of Ansel Adams' Special Edition negatives for twenty- seven years and over the span of that time has made over seventy thousand prints from Adams’ negatives.

He operated a commercial photography studio in San Francisco for twelve years with projects ranging from ads and world-wide campaigns for the Bank of America to landscape murals for the National Park Service. He relocated to Santa Fe in 1993 to devote more of his energies to his personal work, teaching, and work for select clients, including Boeing, Nike, IBM, and MCI.
