THE PHOTOGRAPHS

     The photographs are all black & white prints about Cedar Key, the fishing and clam farming industries, and the waterwomen, whose stories make up each chapter.  All photos are by me, and are from my WaterWomen portfolio.
     The portfolio covers the time from the early 1990's to the present.  It includes  images from the last days of net fishing and Cedar Key. Then it concentrates on the women's role in clam farming, and oystering.  It also contains portraits of the women. A representative sample of the photos is attached.
     A large selection of photographs is available, and  I continue adding to the portfolio.

Technical Details

     The majority of the photographs in the portfolio were made with a 35 mm SLR on Fuji Neopan film.  I also use pinhole cameras, plastic Holga cameras, and TLR's.
     My prints are usually toned with Kodak Poly Toner or they are lith printed.  This gives them the warm patina I prefer.
