Born and raised in rural Iowa, attended several universities, and lived adult life in the mountains immediately west of Denver in Gilpin County. Married for forty years with two fine children, and two grandchildren. Taught visual arts in public high school for thirty years, mainly ceramics and photography, but at one time or another every conceivable medium. I enjoyed and continue to enjoy young people as they keep me thinking and love that vitality. "Retired" twelve years ago, and moved to Mexico over ten years ago. Sociology and ethnography a strong trait in our curiosity.

The photos included in the following galleries can fall into two general types beyond their themes. Some are sequential series which illustrate specific techniques or events, hopefully with visual and verbal clarity. These are also usually annotated so each visual can be understood as part of a whole. For instance, Upper Rio Grande Weaving or San Juan Deer Dance would be in this category. Other galleries might have a geographical area, subject, or technique in common, but no more.
