During a visit to Kyoto I had the pleasure of visting Shuren Sakurai, a Noh mask carver, who generously let us photograph him, showing us how he makes his masks. I used this mask as the focal point in one of my “faux” postcards, surrounding the face with calligraphy and postage stamps.

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
