I’m a self-taught photographer whose work in ceramics, sculpture and poetry has influenced what I do with a camera. Three dimensional work has imbued a sense of conveying feeling through composition; writing the riches of rhythm, tone and brevity. As in my other work, I aim for images of joy and wonder and of doubt and perplexity because our life is like that.

My photographs have been shown in galleries in the USA and Europe as well in online and print journals. My ceramic work can be found in the Museo Sargadelos in Spain as well as on the shelves of many clay lovers. And my poetry has figured in print and online journals. Along the way I’ve translated 2 novellas/travelogues (The Countryside of Nijar and La Chanca, Alembic Press, 1987) by Spanish novelist Juan Goytisolo, as well as poems by Vicente Aleixandre and Luis Cernuda (published in Alembic Journal).

David’s Song 

I always wanted to be
born into a book
and wander free
in the author's mind
down crowded streets
across Times Square
unto a stage
my audience growing
but what would readers think
of such a thin lad
in a second hand pea jacket
in this no man's land
dissolving
amongst the working masses
in chapter three
of a 500 page masterpiece
