Recording Light. Revealing Images.

The word photography is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) "light" and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing".

I will be showing a collection of photographs at Joe Bar in Seattle, WA. These photographs reflect on the stillness found in a glimpse of some passing scene. The collection is a tribute to the space one feels in the silence of isolation. They are all tranquil scenes meant to be eerie but some how welcoming. The shadows, highlights, and lines in the photographs interplay in a manner to both draw you in and yet drive you away. The photos are all from 35 mm or 120mm film.
