all images to be titled, 2006

i used to work in an office beyond cell phone's reach. i once drove cross state lines to my job deep in western connecticut. during the winter months my first task of the day was to gather firewood & start up the wood burning stove that would heat the office during working hours. i had other tasks but this one was probably my favorite. i had a boss & only three coworkers. this doe, this fawn & an incredibly verbal chipmonk.

my boss began buying these guys lunch & by the time spring rolled around i would be dining at this proximity to our friends. now, i do not necessarily agree with the ethics of feeding wildlife, bringing them closer & closer to our desks - so as to objectify their beauty & make oneself feel at peace with nature & old age. but he was my boss so i didn't say anything. i guess my guilt over the whole thing has kept these 4x5 negs tucked away for four years. the scans aren't great but here they are.

tiny city come dance with me

(to be titled), 2009

my friends are building a fort in deep west philly. here is a photograph from the abandon building next door. there is so much water saturating this roof that it was not unlike photographing on top of a water bed. a friend had to hold the camera steady as i carefully maneuvered so as to not get my equipment wet. my feet did not fare so well...
