Artist Statement

I lived in NYC for the last seven years and moved to CT in March '08. My work tends to be more "urban-centric" because of my time in the city, but am working on including more flora/fauna into my portfolio. I prefer to shoot B&W - especially with my urban photography. I feel it really helps to bring out the texture & feeling of the shot.
I do not use PhotoShop - I do very little post editing. I want my work to represent what I saw/felt at the time of the capture. I do my best to crop as I shoot, but if needed I'll crop/sharpen an image if I feel it will enhance the original idea behind the shot.

In my opinion, not for a gallery show.

The Brooklyn Promenade is a good image because of the angle at which it is taken and because it is in black and white...

Three different directions exist among these examples, making for three possible exhibits.
"Promenade," and "Ready for Duty," are a powerful
pairing, as are "Public Library," and "Me and MY
Shadow." The "Balloons,weakest of the four- lacks
contrast and has been used repetitiously. This
shot brings nothing fresh to the scene.
