This is a collage I made and sent out to a friend. The Japanese papers (from an old ledger book and some antique books) are rather subdued in color, so the brightly-colored Japanese postage stamp (issued in 1991) really stands out. The round cancellation stamp, the red signature stamp (hanko), and the squared red stamp are all from my collections of strange/weird stuff.

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.
