Since the 1990s, he has worked as a university professor while traveling and exhibiting his work in venues around the world. His background in art history, sculpture, filmmaking, and documentary photography deeply informs his Maine-based photographs, which can feel both majestic and dynamic while consistently conveying a sense of silence, stillness, and solitude that often contrasts with the subject matter itself.
