 A majority of my work focuses on cityscapes and urban photography – catching an image or unique angle on everyday subjects (sometimes from a moving car). Rowing teams in Cambridge, Boston construction and local architecture are just some of the subjects of my photos – done mostly in black and white for depth and timelessness.

I’ve only been taking photos in earnest since the death of my father in November 2012 and have found a style, medium and aesthetic I enjoy. I grew up in Arlington, MA and relocated to Boston and New Bedford after living in New Hampshire since 1989. Photography was a “happy accident.” On my commute to Concord, MA, by way of Memorial Drive, I used my iPhone to capture the rowers on the Charles River.

And the rest is history.

After a few shows and having my work displayed in Boston Hospitals I’ve upgraded to a Nikon D750 but I still use my iPhone due to its fantastic portability. I love to work in new mediums such as cyanotype, sometimes using unconventional materials and pinhole cameras.

 My newest challenge is to relearn how to use my father’s restored 1952 Leica.”

I am an imagist. I capture moments —using an iPhone, cheap plastic and pinhole cameras— and I digitally enhance and/or manipulate until I can’t anymore.

Currently I have a perpetually ongoing project of street photos (“Drive-By Shootings”), generally taken from a moving vehicle; a concurrent project combining distressed photos with accompanying haikus; and I’m in the planning stages of making ink mono prints on fine art and homemade papers.
