I grew up in Ohio and for the last 30 years spent a good bit of time photographing the state, its attractions, and its historic past. This gallery is a representative selection of images from Ohio as well as other parts of America. My work also encompasses historical document restoration, which means obtaining the highest image resolution possible and repairing damages to that image resulting in poor exposure, darkroom mishaps, and scratches. Sometimes an image, such as the Wright Brothers famous first flight image that most people are familiar with, has a cracked glass plate. Some restorations show that cracked image repaired or cropped out of the image. I prefer to leave that particular damage in place.
