Things have been super busy around here. On top of my new work and this latest showing, I've started teaching darkroom photography at a west side high school - some really talented kids. You can bet I'll be posting links to their work. If you can make it out, it'd be great to see you this weekend. Hope all's well!

New Work: 2nd Gen Prototype
A prototype for my 2nd generation of work, this piece consists of an archival print plus an 2 additional layers.

My Trib Article = Our Waste of Time
I'm a bit embarrassed that a 45 minute interview amounted to a little more than a sentence. And it's a sentence that clearly promotes the articles goal, and has no bearing on my work. Rather, in the context of the article, it co-opts any artistic integrity I could have hoped for. So, I apologize to you, my supporters, for any confusion.
