I specialize in digital photography and computer art. My approach skews towards the abstract. While I do not exclusively create abstract works, I love the style because it actively incorporates the viewer into the aesthetic process. I believe this is more of a two way interaction between myself and the viewer. My first attempt at digital photography as art was in 2004, driving around Chicago with my friends Mike Browarski and Royce Lee. We were using a portable 4 track recorder to capture city sounds. I brought along my Kodak digital camera to take pictures to go with the recordings. In the end, the pictures were much more compelling than the audio. This casual evening of aesthetic fun blossomed into a love of the medium and a pursuit of photography. My favorite subjects are lights, architecture, street fairs, nature, night time and macro shots. I particularly love kinetic photography and light painting. I frequently use photographs as a base for computer works using Photoshop.
