I define the work that I am currently
engaged in as "the art of structure." Although the
subject matter in my photographs are primarily large buildings,
my focus is not with the architecture. Rather, it is the exploration
of how a structure relates to its environment. My interest
in this idea is a direct result of how I tend to observe the
dynamic balance of the natural world as it interacts with
the ordered structure of man-made environments.
For me, photography is an inherent extension of how I see,
and it enables me to capture and reproduce what I have envisioned.
But it is not just the visual aspect of photography that inspires
me - I have always been intrigued with the mechanical functions
of the camera. Whether I choose to use a plastic toy camera
or a technologically advanced digital SLR, each device offers
a unique set of challenges that require complete understanding
in order to capture a precise recording of an image, as well
as achieve a particular aesthetic.
Ultimately though, it is neither the equipment nor the process
of taking a photograph that are of the greatest consequence
for me. In the end, what really matters is that the finished
image tells a story, makes a connection, or reveals a deeper
truth. That is what compels me to make photographs, and it
is what I aim to achieve every time I press the shutter.
All of my photographs are printed using pigment inks on acid-free
photorag papers. Print sizes range from 16? x 20? matted to
24"x 32" matted. Prices begin at $200.
