Paris Darkroom has closed its doors. The evolution in the photographic industry to the digital realm has taken its toll on silver based traditional processes which have always been my specialty and passion. The decision not to pursue digital imaging was a conscious one, thinking carrying the torch for printing beautiful noble metals on fine papers would always have a viable market. But now the decline in the availability of materials, and photographic paper manufacturers closing their doors has made continuing my high standards and creative choices impossible.

I still maintain my personal photographic work, much of which is pinhole photography, and can be viewed, researched and purchased at my website thencamenow.com.

I am now composing music for film and TV. For further information on these endeavors, please visit thencamenow.com.

All this being said, if anyone has an interesting printing project, I may decide to fire up the darkroom and take it on. Please contact me to discuss any ideas you may have. I have archived the original website here for anyone curious enough to research it.

Finally a huge thanks to all whom have trusted me with interpreting their work over these past twenty years (the list is long), it has been a tremendous pleasure.
