A Word From The Artist

Photography is such an interesting medium.  Ive been working in the field since around the year 2000.  This was about the same time the internet began to gain massive popularity.  There have since been these constant collisions of change and obsolescence.  Next came digital cameras and everything just exploded.  The amount of digital content being created is overwhelming.  I look for tensions between the old and the new or analog and digital.  The merging of these two will be one of the most profound things I expect to see happen in my life time.
