A Peerspace in Detroit

This past February I was in Detroit attending an exhibition. With a suggestion from my wonderful Canadian friend, I decided not to let the weather halt any photographic work and hesitantly tried PeerSpace.

Spring is in the Air

When a great model returns to the scene, you seize the opportunity! Anthony, who had moved away, ventured back to Columbus. This time he brought a friend he is trying to energize from a difficult life. And what a better way than through something creative and totally different.

Matt Redux

So, as I’ve probed the archives searching through older black and white works, I found my transitional negatives. These pics are shot on film at the same shoot when I began using a digital camera. They were my back-ups for the digital. Just in case. I remember those early experiences with this new technology. I
