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.

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], 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.

9/11 Remembered series

I applied the long shutter duration technique to news reports, most notably the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre buildings in New York City in 2001.

The overlaying images and camera movements baked into the images allow for a reinterpretation and focusing of the detail within moments that may have been over looked by watching the video alone.
