UNIVERSAL TRUTHS
"I was longing for moments that had passed,
and it was tearing me apart"
Seasons change, time fades away, years pass and we get older.
What is more universal about the human condition?
In this post I explore the expression of time in my photography.

Photography has always been part of me since I was a teenager. I have always been printing my work, first by traditional film development and dark room process and now by using a digital workflow and a large variety of materials and printing methods.
Recently I have started to print on large scale aluminum sheets in addition to paper and canvas. My prints connect the viewer with the photograph in a subtle but effective way, creating a feeling that lasts.
Please share this post far & wide - your help is much appreciated!

My passion for printing my own photographs started in the 1990s, a pivotal time in the evolution of printmaking, when the first color inkjet printers became available. However, during those early years, there was a significant drawback: the inks didn’t last and faded in just a few years. This all changed dramatically with the introduction of carbon-based pigment inks. These inks offered longevity that was previously unattainable.
Now, the long-lasting prints I produce can endure more than a lifetime, showcasing colors that are not only lifelike but also reflective of my artistic vision. Through my journey in printmaking evolution, I have created numerous fine art prints, each telling its own unique story.
