A Portrait of Grinnell


For four years, I walked across the campus of Grinnell College as both a student of history and a photographer.

My background as a nature photographer and my interest in the lines and forms of the architecture came together as I carried a tripod with me as I walked all over campus.


As I crossed the stage to graduate in May 2006, the first copies of my book were being unloaded from a ship in California.  A 108-page 12×9 inch hard-bound and full-color coffee table book with a foreword by professor of biology and author David G. Campbell, A Portrait of Grinnell: The Architecture and Landscape of Grinnell College is now in its second printing!

You’ll find it on the shelves of the Grinnell College Bookstore and Saints Rest Coffee House in Grinnell.  You can also order both my book and the related poster, North Campus Winter, directly from my online store.

Last, but not least, any of the 82 plates from A Portrait of Grinnell may be purchased as signed prints.  I personally prints and signs each image using fine papers and archival inks. You’ll find them on the sister web site, lightsedgeprints.com!
