Percussive

I started on Piano, and then Percussion in Marching Band, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, African and other groups. Music has always been a part of my life, if not always a public part.

Metropolis

The stunning beauty of Lake Michigan, the cultural density of the North Side, and the spread out charm of suburb after suburb ensured Chigago had become the ideal American metropolis for me.

Finished No. 3

Americans frequently need reminding that things will not last forever. It is the natural order of things, that empires come and go. This isolated unfinished building in south Charlotte seems to illustrate.

Cycles

Things can sometimes seem a blur, a series of wheels going round and round. The cycles and loops of life can be like comforts, or opportunities, like this in-camera effect.

South

Sometimes, the idea of what something is, or what something was or could be, is grander than what it really is, which can be both positive and negative.

Unity

So much of what I saw in the unity of Berlin is the old and new put together in ways which respect history instead of revising it.

Bulbs

It's nice to capture things which are later gone, and the idea of lights which are not lit is also an interesting one, adding to the classical composition.

Race

A fairly standard shot of a horse race at the Carolina Cup, in Camden. I've put a good bit of filtration on it to give it a timeless look.

Self Portrait

I've done photography and graphic design more than any visual medium, but I've also done sketches and oils. My work is atmospheric and geometric to me, illustrating a strange and hidden beauty in what I see.
