TITLE: Dreamscape

With my underwater work (which I am only able to do a quarter of the year) I seek sublime peace, that fine line where the conscious and subconscious meet, and the creative chaotic where energy is released that border is broken and the potential becomes kinetic. I see the water as a metaphor for a dream medium and I try to meet my subjects on that boundary and hope that we are able to guide the viewer there.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and in 2005 moved to Arizona where I’m rarely cold and don’t have to shovel snow or cut grass.

I graduated from Bucknell University with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry. I worked at Barnes & Noble for four years where my greatest achievement was becoming “that guy.” (There’s a story there for later.)

Currently I pay the bills as a nuclear medicine technologist. (Sounds impressive right? You put nuclear in front of anything and it sounds good. Nuclear Dog Food? Awesome!) This lets me write and photograph on the side without having to resort to living on ramen and sleeping on friends’ couches. (In fairness I do like ramen and some of my friends have very comfortable couches).

The rest of my time is devoted to my various cats (1 indoor, 3 outdoor as of the time of this writing.)

My ultimate dream would be to visit Mars. < BACK TO GALLERY
