This site was created to develop an online history of the photogram and to include both historical and contemprary photogram images.

This site will continuously be updated. I invite others to contribute text and images to help fill in gaps and to improve the content of the site.  If you are aware of photographers or other artists who have created photograms but who are not listed here, please let me know biographical information e.g. names, years of birth and death, and if possible if the photographers are referenced either in books or other printed sources. If you can forward reproductions of works and/or biographies of these photographers I will add them to my site. If you find any errors in any of the information, also please let me know. I appreciate all contributions toward making this an interesting and reliable resource.

Information can be contributed in the form of email (text and images) for potential inclusion on this site. Images submitted should be .tiffs or .jpegs that are ~500 x 500 in size.

Historical images from galleries that can be included would be greatly appreciated. Each gallery will be listed as contributing the image to the site.

Thank you in advance.

I have added to many of the entries in the different chapters for those of you who look at this site regularly. I am in the process of photographing many of my new photograms that I will add to existing or new portfolios in the coming weeks.

A group of my black and white silver-gelatin photograms are being displayed this month as organized by the Newark Arts Alliance, Newark, DE. These images are more representational of common objects than many of my more recent photograms..

I have just displayed a set of 14 black and white silver-gelatin photograms at the 202A Gallery in State College, PA where my photograms and other images are regularly shown.

I have been adding regularly to this site and have more material to add than I seem to have time to accomplish it all. I expect to be adding a variety of new images in the very near future.
