capital 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.

photo shot in Christiansburg, Virginia, summer 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.
