The images in this gallery are a sampling from earlier portfolios and projects dating back as far as the 1970's.  Included are photographs from black and white film, kodachrome slides, and earlier digital works.

The Polaroid SX-70 camera and instant film were introduced in the early 1970's and were used by many artists at the time because of the film's unique "look".  The original formulation of the film was a gel-based emulsion that had the added feature of being soft enough to be manipulated after the picture was ejected from the camera.  By working on the surface of the picture the color layers in the emulsion could be pushed around, distorted, and even completely grayed out.  The formulation of the film was "improved" at the end of the decade to allow for stronger colors and faster film speed but at the cost of new emulsions that could no longer be manipulated.  Such a loss...

These images were saved from old gallery submission slides and while they do not have all of the nuances of the originals they do serve to mark a place in this artist's history.
