I am a husband, father, educator and artist - not always in that order.

Stillness Between

The every-day becomes a meandering path that began with certainty, but ends somewhere unexpected. I am interested in what is still in the moments between busy everyday life and the plans for future events. In this work I find connections with subject matter that revolves around the people and spaces I love to those moments of still and quiet I seek. These images explore those connections.

Family, Memory, Dreams

Recalling memories of places and events with family, and finding connections with dream imagery during a summer of sketching, this body of work explores the connections I found between my family, memory, and dreams.

Made and Found

The images on this page are collected from various series or simply from a day's shooting. I have them here in a sort of self curated collection of images I enjoy seeing together.

Folded Open

In this work I have been photographing my daughter with  a sense of parental observer and interested bystander. As parent, I find it amazing how the light reveals in her a sense of generations and wisdom that confounds my core as I know her as my kid. As a bystander, I find myself enjoying the ambiguity of what she may be thinking or feeling at the moment I shoot, and see the power in her genuine expression. The images I made explore a sense of narrative that leaves open the point at which you encounter the scene a story. They begin to connect days to weeks, and fold over into what has become a few years of my daughter growing up so quickly. This is why I have titled the series ‘Folded Open’.

More to come soon.

Mom

My mom died. She was not sick and was not suffering from any on going issues. It just happened, like a plug being pulled. I am never going to put enough words to my grief, or make any amount of work that could act in a fully cathartic manner for me - I don’t think I will ever get over missing her. But these images explore a beginning of that process, and where it goes from here I hope she would smile about it.
