HONORS & EXHIBITIONS
Biography
Provocative architectural scenes continue to command my attention and compel me to photograph their soothing abstract and geometric qualities. Particularly in urban surroundings, I use my camera to peer beyond the obvious characteristics of these strong graphic settings and expose elusive hints at story snippets caught midstream.
Yet as the topsy-turvy trajectory of everyday life grew ever more unpredictable during Covid-19, a wider range of subjects shot closer to home replaced my once-frequent urban photo safaris. Through different vantage points, I tackle the increasingly blurred lines of demarcation between what is “real” and what is “imagined.”
I’ve dubbed these explorations “Reality in Flux” - a loosely woven photographic series that explores “change” and “ambiguity” in its various forms.
