Urban and Travel Photography

I travel the world for great photos. I strive to capture the essence of a place by looking at what's been left behind. While my photography does capture important elements of a place, it's the view of what's behind the beauty that intrigues me. I want to get behind the tourism brochures and see what makes a place tick and what the people think of their environment, all by examining abandoned and neglected buildings, places and things.

What’s New?

From July 2-August 27, my work from Lost Paradise, my study of areas in the Dominican Republic that tourism left behind, will appear in Moline, Ill., at the Quad City Arts’ Art at the Airport gallery.
