Gypsy with a blowtorch.

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

Blurb - Abridged short-attention span version:

I take square pictures. 
(and sometimes rectangles).
With film.
For me.
Because I like to.

Blurb - Lengthier version:

My weapon of choice is film & medium format gear that I use for my art projects.  The images here were all shot in-camera using traditional darkroom techniques & a minimal amount of digital post-editing.  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 main interests at the moment are both highly focused, technically and all over the place, conceptually...feel free to give me a reason to make a series out of any of them.

...on hiatus again until inspiration strikes.


If I were a sniper, I would love parades.
