Recent Work 2015 - 23
After years of lugging around heavy 8x10 film cameras, loading film holders in hotel bathrooms and toiling in darkrooms until the wee hours of the morning crafting only traditional prints, I had an epiphany in 2015 when I first moved to California. For me, photography had always been an exercise in seeing. Somehow I had lost my way by allowing printmaking and technical processes to take precedent over the work itself. I recommitted myself to making work without emphasis on how it was made, but instead, how it is seen. These photographs - mostly stolen moments made quickly and spontaneously, have helped reinvigorate my passion for making new work.
