GENERAL STATEMENT

My science experience has undoubtedly influenced my approach to photography. However, my experience does not entirely affect the product. The results are generally not scientific in nature, aside from the fact that they document novel perspectives, something common to scientific discovery. I use macro lenses and extenders in addition to a stereo microscope. The photographs exploit abstractions and optical idiosyncrasies. Many of my photographs are mixed-media compositions derived from found objects and organic and synthetic materials. I achieve the highest quality in my photographic process through the combined use of classical 35mm films, high resolution transparency scans, and digital photography.
