My photographic interest primarily centers around the dynamic of corrosive and creative forces acting on man-made surfaces, devices and structures.

Initially, my interest was in the details of these processes; the peeling paint, rust, and decay. This interest eventually took me to places where it could be found in abundance; abandoned places.

It didn't take long for the places themselves to being to attract my attention. I began to step back and look at the larger scale of rooms and structures and how natural decay inevitably works its way into them.

This shift in scale opened up ever more areas of interest and thought. The history of the locations, how people think about the places they dwell in, and the transient nature of even the most substantial structures. Each of these enters my awareness at various times while exploring and shooting abandoned places. My hope is that these are also among the thoughts that enter the minds of viewers when looking at my photographs.
