I have worked my way through the traditional photography genres: document, landscape, portrait, mixed media, conceptual, still life, and have done so with varying attitudes about my subject matter: curiosity, excitement, respect, joy, irony, tenderness, sometimes ignorance. At first I worked to learn how to work. Then I worked attempting to show what I believed was important or true. Of late I have more often worked hoping to discover what may be important or true.

I work in series or groups, the durations for which usually last 3-4 years. The groupings are mostly narrative, some with actual text. I find consistency in concept and form. I dislike categorizing my work as experimental since I am interested in issues like how photographs intersect with our beliefs about the world and our lives. I confound expectations about traditional photographic form, but that is an exploration of how photographs mean, not what they look like.
