I was going to write this in third person, just to sound important... but it's too much effort, and I haven't had nearly enough coffee this morning to dream up interesting exploits...I'm a freelance photographer, fine printer and retoucher based in beautiful, bountiful, Brooklyn, NYC. My background is primarily fine art (I hold a BFA from Alfred University in photography and electronic media). I'm fascinated by overlooked, simple, utterly ordinary details and the beauty of imperfection. I strive to shoot work that is intimate, narrative and provides a visceral document of experience, factual or conjured.
I have a "job" to support my "career". I love driving, but don't own a car. I used to take flying lessons, now I just daydream about it. When there's a sale on jeans, it seems my size is the first to sell out. I make killer omelets, someday this will work to my advantage.
a quote from one of my inspirators (like that's a word):
"If you look at a photograph, and you think, 'My isn't that a beautiful photograph,' and you go on to the next one, or 'Isn't that nice light?' so what? I mean what does it do to you or what's the real value in the long run? What do you walk away from it with? I mean, I'd much rather show you a photograph that makes demands on you, that you might become involved in on your own terms or be perplexed by." -Duane Michals

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

designers, artists, urban explorers, malcontents, musicians, models, visual thinkers, and generally smart folk...not too insane, but outgoing, passionate geeks...sunday brunchers.
