Belchertown Mental Hospital Home 2017 Photograph

I used to live in the Boston area, and now I am Los Angeles bound. I am an urban photographer who loves to travel and explore. I’m fascinated by old run down buildings and doors. I love architecture that’s been forgotten, overgrown, and riddled with rot and decay. I am very attracted to old doors, because they could be a portal anywhere. They are part of the building that is most interacted with, and I’m always wondering who has passed through in time. I’m always curious what’s on the other side. The doors I capture with my camera are mysterious and eerie. I love that about them. The custom picture frames I make are all made from reclaimed wood. I use reclaimed wood, because it most relates to the subject matter I photograph. I love the texture I get from the reclaimed wood, and I love how unique each piece is. I mount the photos onto the wood with brackets that I rust, because that adds another level of detail that relates to the subject of my photography. Each picture frame is a one of a kind, because not two reclaimed boards are the same. Each one has a different pattern of decay running through them. As each bracket has a unique pattern of rust.
