About

Photography has been part of our lives for a long time: for David's 10th birthday, he received an Agfa Click-II camera (6x6 cm), and John presented him with a tripod. Together, we photographed places and people, sometimes even without film. What we saw through the cloudy viewfinder was almost magical. It taught us to really see. Later, as teenagers, we spent a lot of time in darkrooms, learning color, black-and-white, enlargers, chemicals, and lots of techniques.

As adults, our professional paths went in different directions. One of us into physics, the other into music, mathematics, and computing. Those fields aren’t directly related to photography, but the habits they build — close observation, analysis, problem-solving, and the quest to explore a bit beyond the obvious — ended up shaping the way we approach making images.

Over the years, that shared interest never faded.

We wrote a book together, Black and White Landscape Photography , partly because we wanted to share our experience, but mostly because it was a way for us to reclaim the same passions we shared as kids, that same joy we felt when our first roll of 120 prints arrived in the mail – more than sixty years ago.

The photographs on this site come from different times and places, but they share the same simple intention. We’re not trying to present a grand project or a definitive portfolio — this is more personal than that. It’s a way to gather a few images we’ve made, to share them with friends, and to offer something that isn’t quite social media and isn’t meant for commercial use. Just a place where our photographs can live without noise around them.

A site where visions and brothers connect.

If anything here brings back a memory, sparks a bit of recognition, or invites you to pause for a moment, then our efforts have succeeded. That’s really what we hope will happen.

After all, that’s the point of art.
