Photography

The first time I picked up a camera, I did it more or less out of boredom. A girl I went to high school with showed me some scrapbooks and albums of photos she had put together. I hit upon the idea (motivated somewhat by the fact that I had a long-standing crush on this particular girl) that I would look into doing the same. The year was 1995, and I was just about to graduate from high school. I borrowed a relative's old Kodak Instamatic camera and started snapping pictures of people I hung out with from high school. Over that summer, one camera or another (or sometimes more than one) was my constant companion. I took pictures of friends, acquaintances, outdoor scenes - anything I could find that I thought might make a halfway decent photograph. Since then, I've pursued the hobby off and on, and have added poetry readings, softball games, outdoor events, and live rock performances to my photographic résumé. This area of the site samples some of what I've done over the last twelve years. Except for the live performance photographs and Polaroids, all of which date from 2007 onward, the work featured here covers the period from 1995 to the present. Many of the photographs were taken when I was a teenager, and some are representatives of styles or genres of photography that I no longer or only rarely indulge in now. Feel free to give the collection a look.
