Traditional Dark Room Printing in Providence, Rhode Island

I got my professional darkroom start 45 years ago in New York City, learning to make custom black and white prints for commercial and fine art photographers.

I attended the School of Visual Arts in New York, where I earned a BFA. I worked in several labs in NYC, primarily learning printing from Chuck Kelton of Kelton Labs.

Currently I live and work in Providence, RI where I teach printing, run a custom printing lab, judge competitive bbq at Memphis in May and teach urban backyard composting and gardening.
