Artist Statement: 

My current photographic work comprises several different strains. I have shot a series of works in the ruins of Hunters Point Shipyard that depict the slow decay of the abandoned industrial site, and have published a book of these photos, Shiyard, Dust and Memories: Photographs of Hunters Point Shipyard.  This work represents the start of my return to photography using digital processes, after many years of work as a metal sculptor, work which I continue to explore.

My other major strain of photographic work involves shooting urban imagery in New York City and San Francisco. I seek to capture the fleeting moments of life in the city, the blink-of-an-eye capture that freezes a unique moment in time in the life of the city. Much of this work is processed as black and white imagery.
