Artist Statement

Global Warming-Glacier Calving is a photograph taken at the Sawyer Glacier near Tracy Arm during a cruise along Alaska’s Inside Passage. There was significant calving of the glacier while we were at the site that the conservationist on board noted was due to global warming. In post processing I ‘shaped’ the image to represent a globe and this piece represents to me what global warming is doing to the earth’s glaciers.

 

Biography

I have been a photographer for over 45 years. I am a self-educated and self-taught photographer whose early work was 35mm black and white, chrome, and color imagery. Black and white photos were processed and printed in my darkroom. I migrated to digital photography and now exclusively capture, process, mat, and frame my digital images. I love the creativity and expression in photography. It is my hope that my images will enable others to enjoy the beauty of the world through my photographs.
