SOME NOTES ON SOME IMAGES I MADE.

Shutter 1 & 2, Cool Electric and Warm Acoustic:
One time I made a stroboscopic shutter out of an old DJ turntable. This contraption allowed me to expose multiple images on the same piece of film capturing the kinetics of a guitarist in both the 45 and 33 rpm settings of a phonograph.

Rotoreliefs:
A completely different kind of strobe mechanism allowed me to look for sculpture in the way a Muybridge-like needle skated across an intentionally warped record.

Black Line Volume 1-3 and One of Four Market St. Apertures (1-4):
I wanted to capture the light that streamed through a skylight once fueling the effect of a light and space installation by Robert Irwin in 1980. Part of this project involved the construction of a Lucite copystand with the camera pointing upward.

Travel Photography—Souvenir Series:
When I travel I try to find the one thing that best represents my experience of that foreign place. Rather than collecting such things, I set out to reconstruct them in the studio as best I can. This seems a more genuine experience of “the souvenir” and, to me, works more like the way jet-lagged memory does.

Landscape Photography:
I’ve been reconstructing the mounts of various taxidermy I’ve found in natural history museums. I’ve also learned to tie fly-fishing lures for the express purpose of creating small abstractions. This seems a way to explore a notion of architecture and landscape without having to take a picture of a tree or a building.
