amnh series
Street photography is my passion -- a wild mix of technical skill and
social engineering, every component changing and evolving second by
second. The "amnh" series spins my love of street photography into a
radically different environment, a sort of off-the-street photography.
The project carried me from sunlight into museum darkness, from
rapid-fire to a zen-like slow motion, and forced me to rethink the whole
process of stalking strangers. These images strip the components of
traditional street photo down to the barest cues: silhouettes gazing out
over vast, artificial veldts and jungles.
