Trapped- Tintype

Trapped- TintypeI love the process of photography, especially the older ones that were around at the beginning of photography. Somehow the process takes my mind back in time and my photograph goes along for the ride, it looks old, and has the marks of the makers hand, for better or worse. It is contrasty and backward, the blues are white and the reds are black. 4x5 inch wet plate collodion tintype. One of a kind

this is the first photograph of mine to be included in the collection of a major US museum

This is what I love about architects and what they do for all of us

Making self portraits is challenging

I find myself surrounded by collections of small objects that come through my life

For me I was immediately struck in the same way I found myself being amazed by sites all over Paris
