Etchings
​Photo etching (photogravure) is an artistic interpretation of a photograph. These hand-printed archival images distill the moment while adding nuance — giving the image a timeless quality.
​​
I start with a photograph I have taken, then transfer the image to a solar etching plate. The process of inking and wiping the plate allows me to add atmosphere to the image. For example, I might make the sky darker or highlights brighter — interpreting not only what a moment looked like, but also what it felt like. I print the image by rolling the plate and the paper through a press that applies about 5,000 lbs of pressure.
Each print is unique, because the application and wiping of the ink is different every time. Each is a new expression of the image.
​
These photogravures are limited edition, archival quality prints on Hahnemuhle Copperplate paper with Chardonnel ink. I frame them using museum quality framing — solid frame, archival matboard and AR museum glass which removes 97% of all reflection, allowing the print to really shine through.
Remember the Love
9/11 Commemorative Etching Exhibition Coming in 2026
Transformational moments are etched into our minds. September 11, 2001 was one of those moments. On a Tuesday morning, the unimaginable happened. Terrorism became a reality that we could no longer ignore.
As a historical photographer for FEMA I had the honor of capturing many moments that are now part of our collective memory of the 2001 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. I was one of the two official FEMA photographers who worked at Ground Zero. My images were provided to and used by media outlets throughout the world to help tell this story.
I am launching an etching project called “Remember the Love” — a collection of etchings created from the
photographs I captured in 2001. The first nine etchings were created in 2021 and went on exhibition at Lapis
Gallery in conjunction with 9/11 Day’s tribute “Shine A Light.”
The expanded collection goes on exhibition in 2026 at the CU Denver Experience Gallery located in the heart of the Denver Performing Arts Complex. It is my hope that the show will tour and end in Washington DC. A commemorative exhibition hardcover book will also be produced.​
You can support this project as a presenting sponsor, or as a portfolio sponsor. With a portfolio sponsorship of $28,000 you receive a complete set of all 25 etchings in a handmade archival box. There are a limited number of these portfolios available.
If you are interested in supporting this project — by purchasing a portfolio of etchings, becoming a presenting sponsor, or helping bring this show to your community — let’s talk.
