Artist, Educator, Photographer

My one man show opened today in the Photography Gallery of Riley Hall of Art and Design at the University of Notre Dame.  If you are in the South Bend area in the next month please take a look, it closes on September 31st.

I also was chosen to be a finalist in Critical Mass, a Photolucida competition designed to offer exposure opportunities to emerging and mid career artists. See the full list of artists HERE.

Here is one of those buildings that I wish I had the time to get inside of when I was there.

And an image that does not quite fit but the light drew me in and I had to make an image of it. It makes me miss all the night work I was making a while back.

And a couple verticals since they are so rare for me.

A few more benches, oh and a person!

After examining my images a little more thoroughly I think this image may be more successful because it gives a better understanding for the plaza outside the structure as well as the scale and design for the structure.  I however am not as sure about the placement of the bench in this image because it seems too perfectly centered.

These are a few bench snaps from my last trip.

Sometimes things are just too huge for me to be able to get the right shot.  Next time I head through Kentucky I will have to try this one again.  I have been thinking a lot about diptychs and triptychs and I think this was a missed occasion for one. In this instance I backed up as much as possible to try and capture the full scene but ended up with too much empty space and still did not include the important detail of the structure that was built on what was once the stadium field.

So many levels…

This school was built into the side of a hill that was left behind after mining.  Im not sure why they decided to build this walkway as such, but it was a little entertaining.
