Your Bio

I am an archaeologist but I have been doing photography for about 50 years. Started with an old Kodak Signet 35 but now shoot Nikon. I haven't really settled on a style or subject yet, but who knows. For the last couple years I have been working with models and have been enjoying that a lot but I have also done a lot of travel, still-life, and rock-art as well as some macro and other stuff. I have pretty much gone over to digital now but I have a huge stack of film to choose from too.

I have a portfolio at Model Mayhem as well http://www.modelmayhem.com/Quixotegraphics

The site is a work in progress so will have new stuff added as I get to it.

Prehistoric Art : As an archaeologist, rock art has always been an interest of mine. My preferred way of photographing petroglyphs is to shoot at night using flash, often with colored filters on the flash. It often takes many pops and very long exposures, with me crawling around in the dark without lights, to get the shot.
