///////////////////////about\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

My passion for photography and my interest in computers
experienced a glorious melding when I obtained by first
negative scanner. Since then, it's been further down the
rabbit hole. Spurred by the work of Sebastaio Salgado and
Minor White during my formative years in high school,
I've since immersed myself in the full spectrum of all
avenues of artistic expression. I seek to bridge the link
between the analog creativity of Rothko and Malevich and our
emerging cyber-sensibility. We live in such an age where all
manner of human expression can be accessed at whim, the full
gamut of emotions are slight finger-strokes away. To broaden
our collective understanding of the human condition,
I feel a deep responsibility to express these aspects as
fully as possible. To this end, I have dedicated my artistic
practice to the pursuit of gnosis, both esoteric and prosaic.
I walk every trail in my home state of Virginia to discover
hidden morsels of truth and beauty.
I walk every street in my second home of Washington, DC,
to reflect the ugly truth.

See through my eyes.
