Inspiration is everywhere, and can come from anywhere. I notice beauty in odd places: a piling in a harbor, a railing in a parking lot, the stones in a wall. I try to capture what I see in a way that shows the beauty as intensely as I experience it.
My photography is about moments and memories. It’s as much evocative as representational. I rarely title my photographs, particularly not the Railing series, because I want everyone to experience these images from their own personal point of view, without having their perception skewed by my own.
Editing details for the images above: Crow edited with Prisma app, filter “Winter”. (It really did have snow on its feet, though.) Harbor piling edited with various settings in Instagram. Railing image is un-edited except for cropping.
Ongoing and Past Series
The Railing: Appreciating and documenting the marks that skateboarders leave on a railing in Baltimore
Crowtime: Spending time with four consecutive broods of the same family of local wild crows
Scrying: Reflections from a rusty planter
Everyday Beauty: Mostly small or ephemeral things. (If you see a theme, I’d love to hear about it.)
Special! Artomatic 2024
Did you see my work at Washington, DC’s Artomatic 2024? The show ran from March 3 to April 28, 2024. I have set up an Artomatic Installation gallery on SmugMug containing all of the pieces from my installation.
