Currently I am doing a mural for the St Andrews Links clubhouse in Scotland. The Old Course is the oldest golf course and most prestigious in the world. They never had a mural before and commissioned me to do their first.

For the past 4 years I have specialized in large scale panoramic murals of the top golf courses using a pieced-together technique I developed in the late 70's and have now perfected this approach using digital, Photoshop and my Leaf Aptus on a Hasselblad H1.

Whereas before I would match prints and glue them together onto canvas (so that they could be rolled and shipped to exhibitions worldwide) I now use digital and combine up to 100 inner photographs to produce files that are now up to 10 gigabytes in size. I can produce images billboard size with unsurpassed resolution.

"I am doing work unlike anything else being done."

Today, I am merging up to a hundred hi-res images in order to make enormous final files that re-invent the notion of panoramic photography. This is combined with almost 30 years of practice seeing in this way. More than 20 years ago I made an analogue mural 15 feet high by 65 feet in length for the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and was regularly making 10 foot long panoramic murals in the early 80's. I felt constrained by the classical photographic rectangle and needed to "break out." I began with triptychs and moved to multiple image panoramas. I was matching prints that I made in the lab and glueing them onto large canvases for exhibition.

I want to balance the best technique (and finest equipment) with a unique vision. This is my goal. I'm an artist- I want to do the best I can with no compromises.

Years ago, using Leicas, I flew to Germany and tested 70 different lenses in order to choose the 7 lenses I wanted. Once I had the lenses I tested each one at every f-stop and made a priority list which I tried to follow whenever possible. I have always been obsessed with my technique and with sharpness, feeling that I wanted to perfectly balance the craft and the imagery.

My early work was in a photojournalistic tradition with subjects like Auschwitz, the Berlin Wall, nursing homes, prisons and landscapes, urban and natural - in the US, Europe, the Middle East and South America. In general, living near Ground Zero in New York City I was profoundly affected by the events of 9/11. Hearing the first boom of the first plane, filming the disintegration from my rooftop and smelling the results for weeks afterwards, then I began moving more into Nature and Landscape subjects.

Landscape With a Target
I am new to the golf course landscape, but I see it as a "landscape with a target."
Although I not only do golf courses,  I am primarily specializing in them at this time, wanting to make the best images ever done of the golf landscape. They are landscapes with a target and that dynamic excites me even though I am not a golfer. My mural of St Andrews Old Course is being produced and will be installed soon. This one will be 10 foot long by 3 1/5 ' high.
