Artist Statement

The streets of urban environments offer an abundance of material from the banal to the unusual from which I compose may photographs. While my work has often ben categorized in the photographic genre of “urban landscape”, my work branches out beyond that traditional classification. Most often, my images are bereft of people, and offer a consideration of formality in creating their composition. My intent is to identify and bring attention to patterns, shapes and lines that may escape the ordinary eye. My images are a result of intuition and multi-sensory experience.

“We look at the world and we see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect, but as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs.” Aaron Siskind
