Fred first came to photography more than 40 years ago with a gift of a used Mamiya Sekor. In those first years of photography, he shot Kodak Tri-X, learned basic darkroom skills, and developed and printed his own black-and white-images. Fred notes that this early work set the foundation and appreciation for the art and craft of image making.

Today, all of Fred’s work is captured digitally and printed using archival pigment inks and fine art archival papers. Fred considers his work an “observation of our human landscape,” depicting streetscapes, cityscapes, and a “few of us” as we wander through the day. Beyond the depictive level, Fred’s images are about the patterns of shadow, light and darkness that one thing against another creates. “I focus less on a particular subject matter, than on seeing and exploring the small corners of a luminous world around us.”

Like all of the members of MEG, Fred's photography is informed by a wealth of experiences. Fred moved to Northern VA from Philadelphia and has lived and worked in the Metro DC area for more than 30 years. His diverse work and interests include degrees in Environmental Science and Engineering, a successful consulting career in information technology, classical piano, fine woodworking and cabinetry, and a deep appreciation of the art, craft, language and culture of Japan. Fred views photography however, as his most important medium of expression – a point of “convergence and integration” of lifelong interests and pursuits.
We hope you'll stop by MEG to meet Fred and see his work!
