At some point after the dot boom, I got annoyed at the fact that most of my work (being digital) would never have a permanent archive. You launch a site or piece of software then later things get tweaked, graphics change, platforms go away... (Now I make videos of all my interactive work to document it.)

But in 2001, after 9/11, I wanted to make something would have a fixed end point. I wanted some permenance. I wanted something fixed in time. So I started spending a lot of time developing my photography. An image doesn't move. It's static. At some point, love it or hate it, it's finished.

I shot wonderful stuff and I shot garbage. I shot weddings. I shot advertising. I shot cheap stock. I did high budget studio work with expensive models. I shot headshots for friends. Ultimately, I started shooting a lot of book covers (mainly for Young Adult vampire and sci-fi books, which I loved) and was signed with Corbis and Getty Images. I just recently went on my first holiday where I didn't bring a camera....

anyway, here's my photo portfolio
