About

I like to take pictures! Due to a longstanding relationship with music, I shoot a lot of musicians and musical gear, most often drummers and drums. My association with music creates a very comfortable working relationship, whether with manufacturers, collectors, labels, management, writers, art directors, venues, or players themselves. I’m always interested in shooting musicians in the way they want to be seen, and whether the work is done in my studio or on location I’m very open to ideas.

For my personal work I’m interested in the isolation of everyday places and things, often banal elements of environments that are easily taken for granted, and re-examining them through the photographic process. I want to question established visual identity and perceived meaning and challenge the common understanding of how we perceive and experience the ordinary.

Lewis Baltz, Robert Cumming, William Eggleston, Andreas Gursky, Robert Heineken, Joel Meyerowitz, Richard Misrach, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore, Sandy Skoglund, Jeff Wall, Henry Wessel, Garry Winnogrand, are very important to me as well as many others.

Studied at Hartford Art School with Robert Cumming, Mary Frey, Jack Goldstein, and Gilles Giuntini.

My work’s been featured in books, magazines, galleries, and of course the internet.
