About
I grew up in the era of Kodak film and heavy 35mm cameras with popping flashbulbs that were too hot to touch after being used. I still remember how my mother would eject them into the nearest ashtray where they would smolder and sizzle for a bit.
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 100. I made images of my room, my family, myself, my pets - the usual things. My ordinary life somehow seemed glamorous when printed on 4x4 squares, accompanied by strips of eerie negatives. I was hooked.
Thousands of photographs later, the joy of shooting and editing endures, particularly as I uncover themes in my work that have emerged over the years.
This website is a collection of those themes. I hope these pictures touch you.
