about the photographer
At it's core, my work is about culture... as James Boulton said in describing the early writings of Edmund Burke, "the opportunity given to an observant (person) to analyse human nature." I've long been interested in philosophy, sociology; so I see as a photojournalist or a street photographer, not as a fashion photographer. As a result there's little danger that my work will look like everybody else's. My images usually mean more in the context of a series than as individual photographs, and sometimes they require a little effort from the viewer -- My work is not aimed at everyone. Rather, I seek to reach a smaller but more thoughtful audience.
I began as a photojournalist, first for the mainstream press and later as a writer and photographer for a music 'zine. Although I rarely accept commercial work today, my style continues to be influenced by those early experiences. I document the world around me, whether an inside look at a counterculture or a tour of the backroads of America.

The current iteration of this web site marks a re-examination of core values, of earlier interests. The intent, at least for now, is to seek out simplicity and minimalism while returning to a conceptual approach.
