the long and the short view

Three views from New Haven, CT, an inspiring locale.

Perhaps I will be back in NY soon.

Two shots from my video installation at Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia.

A once-gorgeous edifice in downtown Philly, and below it, a beautiful chunky late-19th C office building, also in downtown Philly.

and closer to home, all the trappings of future success...

My walks and rides through everyday New York, mostly in Brooklyn, sometimes elsewhere.

A sketchbook of photos and movies..from photography to witnessing, from space to place.

Reading Georges Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, I have to reaffirm the value of observation in the sphere of the everyday - some of quite casual, and none of it objective - as the first step in creating social change.

Reading Marc Auge's Non-Places: Introduction to An Anthropology of Supermodernity, it's easy to recognize the human specifics, traces and personalizing that occurs in places and non-places alike. Places tell stories.

Hey! these are original images (except for war photographs from Jan 15, 2009), so please contact me if you think you might be thinking about downloading anything. My photos and movies are, in fact, licensed. See license info link on this page. Thanks.
