Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
- Ezra Pound

"That which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal from which it follows that irregularity - that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonishment, are an essential part and characteristic of beauty."
  - Charles Baudelaire

Recent transplant to Atlanta from Australia - I make pit stops in RDU, DC, Ohio & NYC periodically as well.

Blurb - Abridged short-attention span version:

I take square pictures. 
(and sometimes rectangles).
With film.
For me.
Because I like to.
It takes time.
Most things worth doing do.

Blurb - Lengthier version:

My weapon of choice is film, medium format gear & wet chemistry.  The images displayed here were all shot in-camera with an emphasis on exploring traditional darkroom techniques & keeping the amount of digital post-production to a minimum.  Photography is something I do because its something I love and I am always on the lookout for inspired, creative and expressive people to work with on various narrative/editorial/portrait oriented projects.  If you think along the same lines, then we'd probably work well together.

My work is generally described as "Portrait" or "Editorial" (although I do enjoy shooting Fashion/Beauty, at the moment art projects take precedence to commercial work). My interests are both highly focused, technically and all over the place, conceptually.  This is a random sampling of my photographs - feel free to give me a reason to make a series out of any of them.



...on hiatus unless inspiration strikes.

*Note:  If you have contacted me regarding shooting, etc and I have given you my e-mail address, please send all further correspondence there instead of replying via a note through MM.
