Born 1970- Cincinnati, Ohio- USA


The works are part of an as yet untitled series inspired by German theater, cabaret and film performers of the 1920's.

The pieces presented for OFFO 2011 were created on a variety of homemade pinhole cameras as well as 35mm retrofitted with a pinhole lens. Many of the prints were achieved by placing tiny negatives in an enlarger and expanding them to unlikely dimensions that enhance the grain and otherworldly haziness inherent in a pinhole photograph.
