As one of the things that makes us uniquely human, art leverages beauty and emotion as the vehicles to penetrate our psyche. It has the power to convey our aesthetic, social and sentimental points of view through a large variety of media. Compared to language, its message is less refreacted as we percieve it through cultural and temporal filters. Our perception of art is both universal and personal at the same time, tapping into the passions and experiences that connect us to and differentiate us from each other.

When people see my work, I'd like them to feel something.
When people see my work, I'd like them to feel that life is precious.
When people see my work, I'd like them to see beauty in the mundane.
When people see my work, I’d like them to see beauty in the ugliness.
When people see my work, I'd like them to feel a connection with someone or something.
When people see my work, I'd like them to feel a connection with everyone and everything.

I started experimenting with digital photography in 2006. It all began one night without much of an agenda taking random photographs while out with a portable four track recorder trying to capture sounds of the city. Some of the more experimental photos were very compelling and got me to thinking about light painting. Since then I have been educating myself about photography and digital art through research and experimentation. I also use digital manipulation in conjunction with the photos to introduce an additional spectrum of artistic techniques.

I am fascinated by patterns both mathematical and chaotic in the world around us. My approach oscillates between highly organized and chaotic.  On one side seeking repetitive symmetric pattern.  On the other, injecting as much entropy into my process as possible.  My favorite subjects to photograph are buildings - active and abandoned.  I also love kinetic photography and light painting.  Composition is the most critical part of my technque.  I also spend a significant amount of time in the digital darkroom, post processing to assure the best possible prints.
