Front Porch Concert As I was walking along Broadway Park, I noticed a lovely sound coming from a nearby front porch. What makes this photo so poignant is that it was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic--a time when I noticed a spike in creativity in our community.

Family in Masks I came across this family out for a walk in the Lettered Streets Neighborhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. I found it eerie to only be able to see their eyes looking out from behind their masks. It was a sign of the times.

Chocolate And Plenty Of Parking – Bellingham in time of Plague These images are about being socially isolated or locked down for more than sixty days with the prospect of more to come. It's easy to stay entertained but the daily news has the most pervasive and lasting effect on my vision.
All of the images in this gallery are of downtown Bellingham. All are made under the influence of the plague which required shooting during dusk.
Photography is my passion it's about capturing how the play of light and the passage of time inform the way each of us sees the world. It illuminates the state of constant flux in which we live.
I am drawn to this ephemeral play of luminosity as it literally “sheds new light” my subjects.
Being led by this ephemeral nature of light leads to images that go beyond "freezing" a time and place. My photographs are a point of embarkation – portals that take the viewer beyond, to a destination that is unique for each person. I invite viewers to meet me on my photographic journey and see where it takes them.

Outbreak/Breakout This photo was taken at a friend's home following social distancing protocols as a way to maintain my art practice during Jay Inslee's Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. The bulk of this series was shot with the glass door completely closed, and before we opened it, my model put on gloves and a mask. I stayed six feet away from her and used a zoom lens to create the image.

Costco Carts Walking from the parking lot to Costco in Bellingham, I noticed these untouched shopping carts, and they looked like an interconnected sculpture to me.
