Sonatas

Sonatas are individual series of prints expounding on a specific theme and accompanied by poetic text. The photographs are contained in 11 galleries. Click on the Sonata title or the image to be taken to the Sonata. In each Sonata, click on an image or title to be taken to the page for that particular photograph. On the photograph page, click on the image to see a full size scan of the print. All images used on this site are scans of actual silver gelatin prints; no digital image processing was used in making the prints, and no prints were made with digital ink jet.

The images in these series are generally photographed first, usually reflecting a particular location, printed, then ordered to a natural flow based on “feeling”, or a general story idea, not a set narrative. The text is then written, based on the picture sequence, in order to try to convey that feeling experienced when looking through the sequence and communicate the message thereby engendered.
