Defining Light 2009 “Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.” Famous Works
Untitled 2009 It's actually an image that I worked on for several days. It took a lot of versions until I got to that final version.” Famous Works
Place of Several Mysteries 2008 “The final image need not be tied to a single negative, but may be composed of many.” Famous Works
Variation to Elusive Muse 2008 “It's loaded with all sorts of clues that someone could build a story around. It's very dreamlike. I've told people for many years now that I like the idea that the images are obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious. There's not some secret formula to figure out what they mean.” Famous Works
Untitled 1997 Favorite because: Admire the art of double exposure Choice of value and shadowing is very mystique and intriguing This kind of photography amuses me. Favorite Work of Photography
