Stimulation Overload
In June 2009 I flew from Pittsburgh to LA and back in 36 hours. I went to E3. I took photos.
Faces
Here you'll find portraits - planned or spontaneous images of people. Sometimes, it's a close-up; removing all context. Sometimes, it's not. There's light and there's shadow and there'shappiness, worry, and confusion. People, plain and simple.
Spaces
I carry my camera wherever I go. I like to focus on capturing events and details that might go unnoticed by people - things above or below the eye-line. To leave a lot of space around a more traditional subject. Some of these photos come from weddings I've worked on - trying to give the other images of the day a little more context and a little more nuance.
Scans
I've been photographing regularly for more than ten years. First, I used a lot of disposable cameras. Since I never developed my own film, I thought limiting the control I had over everything would force me to focus on what I could control - composition. Around the time I went to college, I acquired a Canon AE-1 from my parents. These photos were taken with that 35mm SLR, developed by a lab, and then digitally processed at various times over the past six years. Some are scans, some are the results of a one hour photo and the option to GET YOUR PHOTOS ON A DISK. Some of the retouching is very sloppy, but they're all interesting compositions and they're all exactly as I found them (another obsessive rule I made for myself: no posing or staging photos of any kind. They all had to be found and captured as they were).
Weddings
These are as the title says - photos from weddings that I've shot, either on my own or as a contractor for someone else. Again, I tend to go after the candid (the posed shots feel stiff and awkward for me, and it shows in the final product).
