This year has been a difficult production year. The insanity of the world has been a huge horrific distraction for creativity. Many times I’ve had to force myself to look away and come back to the art world. Thankfully, another trip to Portugal helped me refocus. All of the intricate planning brought forth one of […]

Over the past few years I have spent much time and effort traveling to Portugal for my work. There is something mesmerizing about this country so steeped in history. Bits of the past remain intact as archeological guideposts. They hypnotize and captivate my imagination giving me plenty of ammunition to create symbolic imagery. Returning again
After much insistence from my Canadian urbex guide, I finally made it to Montreal. And he was right, it’s an incredible city with a palpable sense of old Europe. Lots of great architecture and historical interests. Amid all this, I was shown some amazing new spaces for work and discovered some great local talent. Enter

This year’s outdoor work began a bit early. In April I reached out to a New York model who was visiting Cleveland for a convention. Luckily he agreed to work on short notice with the gradually warming weather. Perfect timing! This guy’s name is Zed and he had never really worked in an abandoned setting.
In the rush to catch up with my shoots, I completely lost track of this great session last year in Cleveland. My wonderful model, Zach, happened to be in town and we decided to try one more crack at the industrial blight around the city. So the remains of the Westinghouse and Hulett factories
