 hotography
both reflects and reproduces ways of seeing. It can capture what
it means to be human in a manner that perhaps no other medium (with
the possible exception of film) can. I am not a professional photographer,
but I do enjoy the act of taking pictures. It is a pursuit which
very much draws attention to the ways in which framing directly
impacts that which we do, and do not, see. Photography can also
open up the photographer and his or her audience to new, different,
and creative ways of engaging the social and natural worlds.

of 1994.
Below are links to slide shows of what I consider to be a few of
the more interesting photos that I have taken over the course of
the past 20 years or so. Unfortunately, some of the most important
photos are missing. Though I think the Internet and Internet Age
have much to offer, there is a darker side to global interconnectedness
that has pushed me to decide against including some of the best
photos I've taken in the last few years -- those of my daughter
Alina. It may be paranoia, but I don't feel comfortable with the
possibility, however slight, that someone out there might abuse
the photos I might post of her, and/or somehow use them as an aid
to doing her harm.
On a lighter note, I believe that photos to which I've provided
links below, as well as the graphics I have created, on this page,
and others attest to some of my creative capacity with the camera.
These stand as some of the positive creations that grow out of a
collectively produced human "species being." They also
constitute an attempt on my part to provoke people to see the world
in new ways. I hope that I have succeeded.
