About the Book
By 2011 I had been using a range of tools and had taken a lot of pictures. I wanted to edit these thousands of pictures from the last twenty years, and make a sketchbook that I could use as a visual reference to begin work on more focused studies ("Studies I - VIII," 2012-Present). (Rather than keep small work prints taped to an idea wall in my studio for inspiration, I could easily and inexpensively turn digital copies of these work prints into a photobook and print one copy for myself with the advent of online print-on-demand services.)
Once I completed this sketchbook it contained around one hundred un-manipulated images - unprocessed scans and .jpg's of work prints made from 35mm film cameras, digital point-and-shoot cameras, cell phones, smartphones, etc. that flowed between journalistic and impressionistic memories. And to remind myself of the importance of colleagues and collaborations I asked one of my closest mentors to write a foreward.
Having this history of my visual memories along with a reminder of the importance of community and tradition that I can refer back to every now and then continues to help me see more productively.
