How often are you the first among your friends to try something new?

Very often

What do you want people to know most about you?

I'm fascinated by urban wastelands, neighborhoods, and people-watching. A random assortment of things I like to shoot: form, lines, and color, americana, fellow freaks, time made flesh, barber shops, personal shrines, hand lettered signs, handball courts, flags, religious iconography, things that are invisible, mid-century america meets the present, repetition and dissonance, formalism, graffiti, peeling paint, twisted metal, piers, the unpredictable and unexpected, things that are not where they belong, the hidden, stories, reflections, distortions, more. I'm always looking for buddies to bike and shoot with.
