Open Theme nominee

This is my third series based in Dubuque, Iowa. I spent most of my first eight years there and returned to see relatives after that. Beginning in 1983 my visits to Dubuque were to create photography series. I have three: Dubuque Revisited, Fractical Dubuque and now Nonlinear Dubuque. This series consists of 60 images. Over the course of the past 35 years Dubuque migrated from an industrial city to a tourist destination. Nevertheless, a downtown section of old factories was revivified. It’s networked with the original brick streets and train tracks. Although restaurants and art galleries have taken up residence in these old buildings so have new factories. This image consists of several overlaid images of the area.

In 1978 I purchased a camera. In the early 80s my work was published, exhibited and purchased for the collection of the Standard Oil Company. My first solo show debuted in 1985.
I received a BA in Film from Columbia College in 1980.
My videos were exhibited at major festivals from 2003 to 2007. One video was nominated for the Golden Gate Award at the 47th San Francisco Int’l Film Festival.
