title
Valladolid
I worked as an award winning graphic designer and creative director, starting my career in the Los Angeles music industry.
During this time, I explored my passion for photography, experimentation and the element of chance. In addition to my
commissioned work, I created assemblage pieces that encompassed my photography. It was at this time that I indulged my
curiosity of using alternative cameras and processes in my work.
I currently live in New York City and, after working in entertainment advertising, am now focused solely on my art. My
subjects range from abandoned landscapes to an ongoing series of narrative portraits of my neighbors. Most recently
I have been exploring alternative digital photography techniques, such as pinhole lenses, teleidoscopes and printing on
alternative substrates.

entry description
Valladolid is a beautiful, sunny, colonial city in Mexico’s Yucatan State that feels relatively untouched by tourists. While visiting, I was drawn to how open the shops/businesses were to the world —literally—every door is open both day and night. People went on with their business as the world looked in. I found it a refreshing change of pace from American cities.about the photographer
