Photography | Editions
Documentary art photography and site-specific editions that explore atmosphere, community, connectivity, and terrain.
Interior and exterior spaces, the objects that populate both, and traces of the handmade and evidence of environmental resilience are intrinsic to this documentation.

“I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.” – Dorothea Lange, American documentary photographer and photojournalist
“You see what you understand. You have to be prepared to see the world.
The moment of clicking the camera is almost irrelevant. What is really important is what happens before and after you take the picture.”
– Gabriel Orozco, artist
“A photograph is a secret about a secret.
The more it tells you, the less you know.”
– Diane Arbus, photographer
