Biography

I am a Professor and the Program Director of Photography at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

I have six book publications - one solo, five collaborative. I've designed and published interactive media and e-books. For more information about these works, please follow the Overview link to the left. Much of my long-time collaborative work with Mark Klett can be seen on Klett&Wolfe.com and Thirdview.org.

I have had numerous exhibitions and my work is held in many permanent collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, The Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. I am a recipient of the Santa Fe Prize for Photography and a Guggenheim Fellow.

A former resident of the West, I now live in Villanova, PA.

Statement

For nearly twenty years I have held a deep and abiding interest in ideas about place, history, time, perception, representation, and personal experience. In the broadest terms my work is a combination of scholarly and historic research, creative expression, and personal narrative. I like to think about my fields of exploration as starting with my own internal experiences and moving out from there in concentric ripples in time and space. Whenever possible, I prefer to work collaboratively on complex long-term research projects with students and colleagues in fields that range (so far) from the Visual Arts to Humanities and the Natural Sciences. My creative practice is grounded in photography and digital imaging, but I increasingly work in other media.

Mission statement

Mission statement

I do a lot of things, some more rewarding than others. A while back, I decided to map the territory I found most satisfying. This is a diagram that represents the domains within which I prefer to work, and the process I value. It's part manifesto, part guide.
