Artist Statement

 

I photograph unique details found in the urban landscape of Los Angeles. The images I discover are found on the sidewalks that we walk on daily and that otherwise go unnoticed. The images are abstract interpretations of the micro-reality that surrounds us all.

It was in November 2003 when I walked on a sidewalk in Hollywood and took my first picture of a curb detail. Soon after that I found myself consumed by the desire to find more of these curious sidewalk appearances. I do not use Photoshop and artificial lighting. I often return to the same spot and take the same photograph at different times of the day to insure that I have chosen the most appropriate lighting.

My original photo-conception and the 5 photo series seen on this website were officially copyrighted in 2005 at the Copyright Department at the National Library of US Congress.



Special thanks goes to Edward Mullen, for the design of this site and to Bilyana Dimitrova, photo editor of Metropolis magazine, for the careful editing of my photographs.
