Motivation

I haven't continued or started any major photography projects since I graduated college 4 years ago. I was really interested in street documentary and environmental portraits focusing on young artists. I loved to edit out the best 12-20 photographs and insert into a handmade book. I loved to create books by hand, cutting pages and binding them with thread and needle and using pen and ink to write the titles. I create a few books one of of my favorites being images of people isolated from each other using the backdrop of California. I miss those projects and think that I could expand on some of the subjects or create my own since my interests have narrowed to a few activities. I am sharing a few of my favorite photographs from college. I'll start off with a few photographs from two of my environmental portrait series which were all shot using a view camera and strobe lights. The first three are from my "Young Artist" series and the last ones are from my "Yiayia" series. Enjoy!
