Artist Statement
Images infused with traces of human presence, generally absent the people, are ideal venues for my photographs. I want the streets,
the interiors, and
the empty roads, where both solitude and secrets reign, to evoke in the viewer’s mind contemplation
and longing
.
I want to pay homage to the ordinary places and deserted sites that become mysterious or beautiful by the ever changing light and atmosphere.
Artist’s Biography
I have been photographing for over 25 years.
Many of my images are of New York, New Jersey and the Hamptons, but I have shot in Los Angeles, San Francisco, as well as in France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Thailand, Ecuador, and the Galapagos. I shoot color and black and white slide film exclusively, with a 35mm camera.
