Statement
Industrial Photo Art
The shapes and geometry of industry, with its smoke and steel, fascinates me. But the dark side of some industries is that they are bringing the disaster of climate change ever closer. My industrial photographic art reflects my environmental concerns.
I instinctively play with photos until they express a mood or idea. Multiple photos of markings, texture and color are blended with the reality of industry’s machinery as I work with ideas of conflict and simplicity. I search for material among the many urban industrial power plants in the Bay Area, shooting through chain-linked fences.
When working with Industrial photos, I reflect on the world’s missing sand, abundance of waste, over-use of electrical power, oceans of plastic, methane and CO2 release, and soil damage.

Minimal Photography
I look for subjects that catch my eye and find them in unlikely places on the street, and on windows, gates, garage doors, garbage cans, and in old factory buildings. I see beauty in the simple, unadorned, unpretentious, and often under-appreciated subjects. My minimal photography is a counter to the industrial series and allows me to enjoy quite experiences.

Street & Urban Photography
Snippets and tailing of life in the city, gestures of people, contradictions we face, conversations, and loneliness, are all just a moment that I see. Bullet holes, graffiti, marks we make, and reflections are some of the signs about ourselves.

Nature Photography
Leaving the city for trips to shoot CA landscapes and plants, I am in awe of nature. Trees are a favorite subject, both the twisted trees of the CA coast and the Tuscan Olive trees enveloped by fog.

Travel Photos of Italy
Italy is a photographer’s dream. I loved the architecture, street scenes, colors, and then there’s Venice!

Motion Graphics - Climate Change
I've recently created several Motion Graphics MP4 videos. Some are abstract and others are about Climate Change. They are viewable on - www.shortbird.com
