Ever since his father lent him a Brownie camera in 1954,
Mike has had a passion for photography. He creates images that celebrate the myriad forms of nature --
from landsapes to the human form -- and he has a penchant for "black and white in color"... images that
are mostly black and white yet splashed with color.
Early on, Mike was influenced by the work of Ansel Adams and Ernst Haas.
Mike's photographic studies have included Arizona Highways master classes. Favorite books: Time Life Libary of Photography series.
A Brit by birth, Mike moved to New York
before gravitating to and settling in Berkeley California . He is fortunate to have travelled in Europe, Japan, China, Africa, Canada
and the USA. He combines photography with two other interests: hiking and backpacking.
Some of his favorite places are Tuscanny, New York city, the California coast,
the Sierra Nevada, the Southwest Slot Canyons, and the red rock country of southern Utah.
He shoots mostly with Nikon equipment, favoring a Nikon EM SLR 35mm camera, but has also worked with a Hasselblad ...
a wonderful camera but a trifle heavy and bulky for field trips.
