You won't see this at MoMA

As a parting remark by a college principle, I was told that he would look forward to the day that he saw my work hanging in MoMA. As such, I wasn’t quite sure how to take the remark. Was it final and long overdue gatekeeper validation of my clear artistic genius, or a form of mild mocking, better placed in a high school playground of false hope? I'll leave it up for you to decide. If you do actually see any of this stuff at MoMA in the future, my apologies in advance.

The Fifth Element - Hollywood series

The Hollywood series followed on from the Le Tour Series [link], as I looked for other outlets for the technique, such as news broadcasts in the 9/11 remembered series [link].

Looking into the role of subjectivity and objectivity in creation of the final image.

Pulling a John Cura [link] /Sugimoto [link] /Friedlander [link] with a healthy does of Thomas Ruff [link] and Ernst Haas [link]. In mid 2012 I stumbled upon the Movies series by Fred Cray [link], during an excursion to the Cleveland Museum of Art [link], who unbeknownst to me, who did pretty much the same thing, longer exposures of moving images.

A different take on the 2010 Tour de France. I like the interplay of objectivity (by me) and subjectivity (of the original camera operator), allowing for a reinterpretation of past events.
