I photograph places that are supposed to be mundane. Seeing the
adaptations we make to our environment lets me know that the place I
am standing in has a history of being used and appreciated.  I am
attempting to portray these contemporary places accurately while
highlighting the aspects of the environment where the arrangement is
unexpected and mysterious. Some of the details found within the
exceptional areas remain inexplicable, others are purely functional,
but hopefully all of them showcase the decisions, inventiveness and
creativity of the occupiers of the space.

I choose to photograph the ordinary facts of our daily lives because
how we live fascinates me.  My intention is to create a body of work
based on my interests and experiences that questions our attempts at
perfection and illuminates overlooked details of contemporary living.
These photographs are full of clutter and emptiness. Most recently my
work has turned toward attempting to understand how new technology
transforms interior space. Hopefully through my photographs of the
familiar I can entice the viewers to actively observe and question
their surroundings.
