Everything you see is an interpretation. Electromagnetic radiation hits an object. Some of it is absorbed, some of it passes right through and the rest of it is reflected. The reflected energy hits the eye; a narrow slice of it activates receptors in the retina, sending a signal to the brain, which identifies it as the color red, and you drive right past it because your mind is occupied by the conversation you’re having on your cellular phone about the latest celebrity gossip. Shame on you. That was a stop sign you just ran. But we're not here to discuss your bad driving habits.
I am a native of Los Angeles, California, though I did most of my growing up in the cookie-cutter suburbia of the desert to the northeast—where they built the space shuttles. I enjoyed documenting Boy Scout camping trips and family vacations with a 110 instamatic as a child. I am a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Professional Photography, emphasis in Industrial/Scientific Photography, which is why I know a few nifty things about the electromagnetic spectrum.
My work is about what I find interesting to look at. I hope you find these things interesting to look at too, but all responses are valid. The world is an interesting—and often absurd—place, inhabited by interesting creatures, who make interesting things and discard them in interesting ways. I rarely have any statement to make other than, “Hey, look at this.” Especially the stop signs. You should definitely look at those.
