Exploring My Art on Fine Art America
Over the years, my photography and artwork have grown into a very large and wonderfully varied collection. My Fine Art America gallery has become one of the places where I can bring all of those different interests together — photography, vintage imagery, automobiles, architecture, landscapes, abstract work, restoration, and newer digitally reimagined pieces.
At the moment, my Fine Art America portfolio contains more than 14,000 images organized into dozens of collections. It is admittedly a lot to explore, but in many ways that variety reflects how I have always approached photography. I have never been particularly interested in photographing only one subject.
A Special Interest in Vintage Cars
Anyone who spends a little time browsing my work will probably notice my fascination with classic automobiles. Vintage Fords, Chevrolets, hot rods, abandoned cars, automotive details, chrome, old trucks and vehicles discovered in unexpected places have been recurring subjects throughout my photography.
My gallery currently includes everything from a 1955 Chevrolet Gasser and 1955 Ford Fairlane to old Fords, vintage Chevrolet Impalas, junkyard vehicles and automotive collages.
There is something about an old automobile that goes beyond the machine itself. The shape of the body, worn paint, chrome, headlights and even deterioration can immediately suggest another period in American life. Increasingly, I have also been revisiting some of these photographs and interpreting them through minimalism, vintage poster design and other contemporary approaches.
Places Architecture and the American Landscape
Travel photography has also been an important part of my work. My collection includes images from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Mount Rainier, Washington State, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona and many other locations, along with architecture and scenes photographed during travels outside the United States.
Some photographs document famous places. Others capture things that might easily be overlooked — an abandoned homestead, an aging storefront, an old sign, a lighthouse, an industrial structure or a quiet rural building.
Those less obvious subjects have always interested me because photography can preserve things that may eventually disappear.
Old Photographs New Possibilities
One of the most exciting parts of my work today is returning to older photographs and vintage material and asking what else an image might become.
Sometimes that means carefully restoring an old photograph while preserving its historical character. Other times I may create a black-and-white interpretation, simplify a photograph into contemporary minimalism, or use digital tools and AI as part of a much larger creative process.
The original photograph is often only the beginning.
After decades of taking photographs, making art and collecting images, I still find myself discovering something new to work on almost every day — and that is probably what keeps this so interesting.
