BODYSCAPES I

My Bodyscapes Series isn't just looking for human geometry, but accumulations, coincidences, chance, knowing glances; masses of people are choreographies with more than a little accidental magic. Seeking to discover what draws people together surely will provide evidence for understanding what it is that also drives us apart.

Please take the time to find and examine every face and body and to notice their relationship in space to others, which I trust will give you a secret pleasure.

ANIMAL PORTRAITS I: PINNAWALA ELEPHANTS

Animals and children make for great portraits, they say. It's not so much that they can't protest--it's that they have no conception of vanity.

These beautiful, beautiful beasts are residents of the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka. (c) 2006

REPORTAGE I: EARLY INFLUENCES

I was 16 years old when I reservedly documented the physical therapy work we as group of international school students engaged in with HIV/AIDs patients in a Catholic-run, Kloeng Toey slum, Bangkok hospice. Not only do I not know of the welfare of the patients in these pictures, but I lost sight of my dear friends who were on that trip (Sophie and Adam, here pictured) years ago. Thus I call this reportage one of my own memory, rather than of the people, scenes, events herein.
