My most recent fascination is exploring the limits of silver gelatin printing. I am using a variety of techniques to achieve distressed results.

This is an ongoing series portraying important and inspiring artists that I've met over the last couple years. Most of them were taken on a 3 month trip driving around Europe.

Each Polaroid becomes a part of that moment, as it's ejected from the camera and touched and held by the model and myself. Something I find unique about Polaroid and how I look and hold them years later.

Collection of some of the favorite places I've had a chance to see. Some have since been demolished.

Rusted equipment, cracked windows, oil, grease, these places are now large, rusted bird houses.

You can usually spend a lot of time in these places. Take a seat and pick up a patient's file that you'll find blowing around on the floor. You'll hear real stories about patients that were once being 'helped' in these institutions. I will wander alone for hours.

Human subjects, [more importantly: models], are something new to me. I've spent so much time studying light and composition in these abandoned buildings, it seemed that I needed to expand my thought process. I began using myself as a subject to blend myself in to a composed shot. I study my body's position and trying to understand how it can be used to 'properly' blend a human's form into a factory, mill, hospital, sanitarium etc...

New journey through Balkans, with focus on wandering through the accursed mountains of northern Albania. Exploring the coast of the Adriatic and war damaged cities.
Then a trip to Chernobyl and Pripyat, Ukraine to document and explore the disaster.

Photographic series documenting abandoned resorts in New York. Most taken in resorts that remain a part of the Borscht Belt; a once popular travel spot for New York City Jews.

There's something special to me about the Polaroid process. It's a very personal medium, almost secretive. The characteristics, tones and contrast of each film can give the subject a different mood, or enhance certain aspects of the photo. I've been using these films long enough to have a good understanding of what kind of effects I will get, or what kind of effects I can achieve by manipulating the process of each photo. You will often see me carrying around several different cameras and several different film types. When I study a subject, I am often visualizing it within the characteristics of each film type, before pressing the shutter.
