Kirk and Will, 2010
I am a photographer and filmmaker based in Seattle, Washington.
My photo and video work carries the imprint of 30 years as a practicing architect, where I developed a collaborative approach emphasizing human engagement, community, and connection. With my camera, I engage buildings and topographies with this same focus: as inhabited, experiential settings within the landscape.
I hold a Part 107 commercial remote pilot certification, and am prepared to add drone footage to any photo or video project.
Duwamish Remains, my ongoing personal project that explores the infrastructural history and transfigured watershed of Seattle's Duwamish River, follows my interest in our constructed environments, and accompanies childhood memories of years spent on the industrialized rivers of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
