Fine art photography. I specialize in alternative photographic processes such as wet plate collodion photographs, ambrotypes, tintypes, and glass plate negatives for contact printing in albumen. I also work in ultra large format film and contact print in iron processes such as platinum/palladium. My undergrad degree is in Humanities and Fine Arts from a small liberal arts college, Hiram College, where I am currently conducting a wet plate collodion workshop for the advanced photography students. This is then followed by a photographic workshop for the staff at The Cincinnati Museum Center. My resume contains quite a list of exhibits and a few photographic awards. Being somewhat established and self motivated I think a low residency program may work into my schedule a lot easier than an in residency program. I know there is a lot of value to an in residency in that there is great support from the community. But as I said, I am much older than a traditional student and I have a large support group from being involved in the art community here locally. The workshop I'm doing now is part of the "History of Photography Class" which is a passionate subject of mine obviously, considering my approach to how I work in the medium. In a nut shell, what I do conceptually is use classical methods to express a contemporary modern vision. I promote these antiquarian processes because it provides the photographic artist with an entirely different palette of aesthetics in which to work.
