Biography

I grew up in the rural Midwest which fascinated me visually since my childhood. For many years, a large format view camera was the only one I used to capture this universe. This meant a slow and deliberate process of image making that is closely intertwined with the intrinsic qualities of film and the aesthetics of B&W photography. In later years, adding a DSLR to my tools opened up new possibilities in urban settings where nimbleness is essential to capturing ephemeral topics. Seeking rhythm, pace and sense in the weathered silos, barns, hay bales and snow-blanketed fields of the rural Midwest originally gave me the building blocks of my approach to photography. I tend to interact with urban environments in series that shed oblique light into everyday phenomena while allowing me to engage with the principles of design. For instance, graffiti and its coverup is a tug of war between street artists and city authorities. But what really draws me to the topic is how the spirit of early modernism appears to be manifest in the resulting patterns. I am a tracker of details that resonate with stories that are outside of the frame. Fleeting images of Chicagoans on Smoke Break, uniformity-defying M&Ms, Color Blocking and Blank Billboards attuned to a slumping economy are among these.
