A note from the photographer: It is not lost on me that this photography requires some effort on the viewer's part. But I also think that it is not closed, cerebral photography. The images may feel like familiar forms, but they are not. While I will not reveal exactly how these images were made, I will provide a list of what these images are NOT:

  • Darkroom manipulations
  • Digital manipulations
  • In-camera manipulations
  • Some kind of special filter photography
  • Ektachrome Infrared images
  • Black and white negatives printed or dyed blue
  • Photograms
  • Painted photographs
  • Photographed paintings
  • X-Rays
