About

I was given my first camera when I was 10. It was a budget-friendly, yet fully manual 35mm SLR with a built-in light meter. I had my first photo credit in a professional publication when I was 12. It gave me an attitude, and while I never gave up photography, I felt I'd learned all I needed to know about photography, and I let it recede into the background of my life as I pursued the many of the other interests most people call growing up.

In 2005, frustrated with the limitations of digital photography, and at a creative impasse with my music, I rediscovered film photography by way of the Lomography/toy camera trend popular at the time, and finally learned a bit more about my craft, eventually coming to accept digital photography alongside my beloved celluloid.

I am capable of making a proper photograph, but gravitate to alternative processes, as ways of disrupting reality, or clarity, in the pursuit of something emotionally evocative.
