Collect.Give – The Book

Tweet  This is a project that I’m really excited to be a part of. I remember in 2007 when I was just dreaming about being a freelance photographer I once emailed Kevin Miyazaki out of the blue just to ask him about his work because I was so drawn to it. He responded graciously. Since [...]

Post-Landfill Landscapes on Urbanautica/Gapers Block

Tweet  It’s been a good few months in terms of opportunities to share my work more. Another one of my favorites sites at Urbanautica recently put up some work from my Post-Landfill Landscapes series. This is a different edit than on my site and includes some images I’ve never shared before. Urbanautica editor Steve Bisson [...]

It was an impressive course with probably the most diverse topography that you can get in the suburbs. The adjacent landfill is 900 [...]

Treasure from trash

TweetI’ve recently started exploring spaces that were, at one point in time, landfill. Garbage. Refuse. It’s become a trend in urban and park planning to foresee the life of a space after it can’t take anymore garbage. This project is just beginning and I’m still exploring the possibilities or lack thereof photographically, but here’s an [...]
