Industrial City

"Industrial City" 2008, NJ/NYC
I was inspired to take this photo because of the contrast between the glittering city and this machine that is use to lift things and do work something about this reminds me of the people behind the scenes who were born and raised in New York and not imported from other states and countries.

Random

"Random" 2008, Details

This picture was extremely random and unplanned, I was looking in the mirror and thinking of ides for the project Details and I looked at the sunlight shining in my eyes and thought that would be a nice picture i'll just go for it, one picture later and here I am.

Unsign This Sign

"Unsign This Sign" 2008, Signs

I love this picture because of how twisted the sign is and how tight the fram it around the sign. Its so confusing and I just love it.

A Fairy Tale Twist

"A Fairy Tale Twist" 2008, Storybook

This is the story of little Red Riding Hood, (lets cut to the chase) the moral of the story is... don't talk to strangers kiddies ;)

Big World, Little Me

"Big World, Little Me" 2008, Monumental
This Photo was created for the assignment monumental. When I started this project I wasnt sure what would be monumental enough, big enough to seem monumental then I got to thinking, sometimes people are so unmonumental (my own word) they seem monumental, So I used a trust friends and he layed on the cold ground and stared up into the skies, maybe he was thinking, wow what a big world and Little Me.

A Long Walk There

"A Long Walk There" 2008, NJ/NYC

To be honest I am not sure why I like this picture maybe it is the isolation or the color, either way it makes it one of my favorite pictures.

Ghost Rider

"Ghost Rider" 2008, Self Motivated
This is a photo of a horse I recieved as a child when I was obssessed with horses, needless to say I pretty much grew out of it and the horse was long forgotten, When it came to doing the pictures for self motivation i had no clue what I was going to do untill I saw this horse in my empty attic and I think that this picture has amazing effect because I did not use black and white or sepia somehow it just turned out this way, or my attic is really dusty but either way, amazing!

Splat

"Splat" 2008, Signs
This is one of my signs pictures, when I was taking this picture I actually saw this squirrel that I wanted to be apart of the shot but I couldnt get a clear shot and after experimenting and trying different angles I eventually gave up, but when I saw this picture in my index I realized I really love the texture of this tree and the weird splatter on the sign.

Creepy Cats

"Creepy Cats" 2008, Signs
When I was taking the pictures for signs I came across one particular sign that was pretty unnerving and succeeded in creeping me out. There was a neighbor hood watch sign on the doors and about a zillion cats watching me from the front steps, by the time I got out of my stupor I picked up the camera and starting taking shots while these creepy cats looked at me.

Illusion Confusion

"Illusion Confusion" 2008, Monumental
This is a light bulb on clouds, and if you are wondering I did stage this and I used a piece of white paper and cotton to give the illusion of clouds. I love this picture because it can have many meanings, from having your thoughts in the clouds to eureka I have an idea.

Garden Vibes

"Garden Vibes" 2008, Monumental
I love bamboo and although it was cold outside I decided to bring the bamboo from my house to an outside portion of my back yard, I was hoping to achieve a feel of something so green and alive with something that is brown and green and just starting to bud.

City View

"City View" 2008, NJ/NYC

I Really Love the feel of this picture, it seems right up my alley, an abandoned station with a beautiful view of the city.

The Vanishing Hat

"The Vanishing Hat" 2008, Seismic
I Like this picture because parts of the hat look almost see through and I am not sure why or how that happened but its very unique and makes me think about physics and things I would never think about.

Forbidden Bank

"Forbidden Bank" 2008, Details

I was sitting in the bank and I asked if I could take a picture in the bank. One of the ladies said no we dont allow that, so when she turned her back I took one anyway. Luckily I was not caught. This picture has an awkward feel because it is slanted but it makes it more interesting because you catch yourself taking a second look. Thanks Commerce :)
