Photography

The city [consists of the] relationships between the measurements of its spaces and the events of its past… As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands.

–Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities.

I see my picture-making as an investigation of people and environments. Shaped by theories of psychogeography and social space as well as the traditions of documentary and street photography, particularly the work of Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank, and Stephen Shore, I am interested in how people both generate and reflect the environments in which they exist. I am intrigued by pictures of subjective experience, where myth, dream, memory, desire, and the everyday exist together, ultimately revealing new ways of seeing life. As a designer, investigating these inhabitations of space deepens my understanding of the possibilities of architecture and urban design.

My photographs have been exhibited in New Jersey and California.
