I’m a photographer with a background in Multimedia. I’m interested in the ways technology, consumerism, and contemporary urbanism shape my life.

In my youth, I was a skateboarder, record collector, and a DJ. Each of these things influence the ways I think about photography.

Skateboarding showed me that the urban environment can be interpreted in ways that exceed and subvert it’s design. Record collecting instilled an appreciation of recorded music and curation. DJ’ing provided an education in selecting, sampling, and remixing fragments of media.

I view photography as a way of building a library of selections of visual information from my everyday life. Like a DJ, I aim to use these fragments to create derivative works that take the form of photo books, zines, and other published materials.

In this way, my photography is related to music. If it is related to music, then it must be related to language. If it is related to language, it follows that a system of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax is operating below the surface. Of course, photography can only look at the surface of life, but this fundamental curiosity about systems is what motivates my endeavors as a photographer.
