Belle Isle - Detroit
14 photos
Frequently referred to as the crown jewel of Detroit, Belle Isle sits in the Detroit River between the United States and Canada. Being on the water, with spectacular views of downtown Detroit, it is a popular stop for all manners of Detroit photographers. Although it was designed by the same landscape architect as Central Park in New York (Frederick Law Olmsted), it carries with it a particular Detroit grit that I strive to capture.

Great Lakes
16 photos
As a photographer from Michigan, I'd have to make a conscious effort to avoid garnering collection of photos from the Great Lakes, (as well as their contributing and connecting waterways). Both the Detroit River and Rouge River frequently find their way into the middle ground of my compositions, I especially seek out calm moments when the water's glass like surface provides a simple reflection with enough vacancy to not distract the eye from the subject of the image.

Fog
22 photos
I have embarked on a life long hunt for fog, there is something comfortable about it's proximity, almost as if it is reducing an extremely complex fraction into its most absolute terms. For this reason I find myself most active as a photographer when seasons change. It's ability to isolate subjects has a very oriental quality that I admire, and this minimalist simplicity provides a medium to make powerful unobstructed statements.

Abstract
8 photos
Defining what is, and what isn't abstract can devolve a heated debate, the very nature of the term makes it difficult to categorize. I generally reserve this classification for my most minimalistic images, where depths and layers appear to collide with one another, or even not exist at all.

Michigan Central Train Station - Detroit
7 photos
Easily the most iconic ruin in Detroit, the Michigan Central Train Station has found its way into nearly every documentary, newspaper, magazine article, and website concerning Detroit's post war Decline. Being such a popular subject for discussion and photos alike, each Detroit photographer is tasked with capturing the beast in with their own unique vision, a challenge that is rarely accomplished and frequently duplicated once performed. The very nature of something this dramatic and accessible being 'easy to shoot' is precisely what makes it a difficult subject for me to capture.

Packard Plant - Detroit
20 photos
I began taking photos of Detroit's legendary Packard Motor Ruins in 2007. At that point, many veteran photographers we're arguing that there is nothing left to shoot in the place. In context, I've began to struggle with whether this is true, or if I have become jaded through countless visits to the complex. Living only ten minutes away, I've been able to capture the factory in nearly all weather and lighting conditions. Through years of trying to artfully frame what has very much become a dead horse for outside media to beat (shoot?) while milking Detroit's post war decline, I've unintentionally documented its decay.
