New York series (2002-2006). This series explores the sometimes humorous and ironic

relationship between the skewed world of advertising imagery and the grittier and far less

perfect world in which we all live our day-to-day lives. These images can be thought of as

a subspecies of the genre of “street photography,” with its emphasis on the discovery of

hidden meaning in the often serendipitous and accidental conjunction of people and objects

which one encounters. The series was shot primarily, though not exclusively, in New York City.

It is important (to me at least) that people realize that these are “straight” photographs.

Although the images in this series were captured and printed digitally, they are NOT

manipulated, composited, or “photoshopped” in any way; nothing you see in any photograph

was added or changed after the image was exposed in the camera. What you see, in every

instance, is exactly what I saw through the viewfinder at the time of exposure.

Color prints, editioned in several sizes

Printed on Moad Entrada 100% rag paper with Epson Ultrachrome inks.
