River : As you spend time paddling, you become a part of the river and it becomes a part of you. I travel with groups of about 120 people - children, craftsmen, teachers, and leaders. We witness the power the river has to bring vitality to the communities on its banks, as well as the effects of our nation's abuse of the water. I hope to convey some of the beauty of that place so others understand the importance of protection and restoration of our waters.

Ambrotypes : Red Series : Ambrotyping, also known as wet-plate collodion, is a photographic process invented in 1855. Process-intensive, the photographer either needs to be working just outside a darkroom or has to carry a portable darkroom with them, as the plate can not be allowed to dry before development. All of the chemistry is poured by hand, making numerous imperfections unless complete mastery of the process has been reached. These are portraits I took of people who I taught the basic wet-plate process to. These are made on textured glass, which causes the chemicals to pool, accentuating any imperfections in the plates and introducing new patterns on the images.

Maker : Art and Craft have always had a strange relationship. Many fine artists believe that craft is unnecessary, while many craftsmen think that artists just think too much of themselves. A few choose to embrace both, blurring the line between the two. I took these portraits while working at Peters Valley Craft Center. These were my housemates and coworkers, my peers. We chose to go to Peters Valley to gain a deeper understanding of the craft behind our art.

Photographers : Having your picture taken is a strange experience as a photographer. There is a point at which you become almost hyper-aware of how the light falls in a room. Being photographed becomes a collaborative process - you have the tools in your mind to make yourself look however you please, but there is another person with those same tools and different intentions trying to capture who they think you are.
