Angkor, Cambodia - 2003

Angkor, Cambodia - 2003

This is a sculpture from one of the many temples I photographed while in Angkor, Cambodia. Shot on film, I have no idea exactly when it was taken. Also, I didn't make any memos of which temple this sculpture is from. Needless to say, I have since learned to take notes in a little red notebook.  As for this image, it was one of the early pictures I obsessed over and printed numerous copies of...I really like the texture of the stone that is brought out by the light, and the dark background amazingly holds some kind of detail.

Happy Birthday to my sister Stephanie, who loves NYC.  

Toronto - 2001

This ten year old photo of columns, although not supremely interesting or striking, was part of what made me interested in taking photographs...it was part of all the "stuff" I shot, "stuff" meaning everything that looked like it could make a cool picture, even when it didn't turn out so.  I still like it.

A busy city

Phnom Penh, Cambodia - 2003

This a picture taken in Phnom Penh on my first visit there.  When I first developed this film, I was really proud of this photo - I think it captures some of the hustle and bustle of the capital city with the motorbikes whizzing by and all the people going about their business on the street.  There is a lone person standing on the balcony on the second level in the building on the right - I like how the stillness of that single person contrasts with the blur of the motorbikes and people on the street level.

My view of New City Hall

Toronto, New City Hall - 2001

I label this an old favourite because it is one of the oldest abstraction photographs of mine - and one of the first photographs that revealed to me the magic of photography and how I could record the world in my own way.
