I’m very excited about a new project that I’ve been contemplating and working on for quite some time. It’s titled Reverie and explores musing, being lost in one’s thoughts, daydreaming, engrossment, absorption. The first photographs for the project have been completed and posted in a new gallery on my website. My primary focus will be this project for the foreseeable future. I am looking for interested collaborators so if you have any interest please reach out to me.

The eighty photographs contained in this book are representative of what I believe to be some of the best work I’ve done over the past ten years. It is a project that has been in process for all of this time, something that I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a personal project not born out of any desire to make any money. Photo books do not make money. The image selection, sequencing and design of the book were all done be me consuming countless hours spread over a three month period. Producing a book is a tremendous effort requiring long hours and countless editing and proofing iterations. It’s an 8”x8” hard cover book with a dust jacket printed and bound by Edition One Books. The staff at Edition One were outstanding to work with. I highly recommend them if you’re considering a high quality photo book. 

At this point in time there’s no large marketing effort. I do have a small number of copies that are being offered for sale. There’s an introductory video on my video page containing some additional details. Please reach out to me if you’re interested. 

I’m honored to have one of my pieces, “A Dead Rose”, selected by juror Amy Holmes George for inclusion the Darkroom Gallery - Portrait 2019 exhibit.

“The heart doth recognise thee,

Alone, alone! The heart doth smell thee sweet,
Doth view thee fair, doth judge thee most complete,-
Though seeing now those changes that disguise thee.”
