Black & white photography is the purest form of exploration in the world of light and shadow. And somehow the most accessible for emotions. My black & white work is primarily documentary, where the subject is important and a story waits in the wings. Of particular interest are people whose lives are lived in direct contact with the land: ranchers, farmers, field scientists, hunters, migrant workers.

Since 1990, I have worked collaberatively with my husband, Tupper Ansel Blake, a wildlife photographer and story teller of the highest calliber, on large conservation based projects resultings in image libraries, books, portfolios and exhibitions.
