Postcards from the Neighborhood
Originally intended as a loose, personal documentation, these images became a landscape study of the neighborhood; one shared as dispatches from a temporary home.
Composed during multiple walks, the images are personal observations of a place, collected by a visitor. They are visual answers to unasked questions, and questions without answers, all on postcards sent back to whoever will receive them.
Working currently as a full-time artist, he produces images that reflect on the social landscape that composes our everyday environment. With influences from street photography and the New Topographics movement, his photography creates a narrative that answers and questions the curious nature of familiarity and that which is commonly ignored.
