About The Artwork

The constant onslaught of the ocean on a defiant land in relatively recent history has had a profound impact on the topography of Big Sur. This visible resistance to the ocean of time, and desire to exist is one of the more moving aspects of this place. I composed this image so the Galaxy is at the edge to add this tension while also providing a glimpse of the greater beyond. Prints are on specially treated sheets of aluminum custom cut for some unique sizes. Because the images are infused into the surface they have a luminescence that borders on magical. Corners are rounded by 1/8” for a subtle touch, and surface is high gloss for utmost detail. Inset Frames are recessed from the edges of the print, so the print appears to float away from the wall when hung. Hanging: Black Metal Inset Frame with French Cleat and Security Screw with Wire.

At an early age photography was not interesting to me, my father would take me to the dark room but it was not captivating. Early in life my creative attention was focused on music, however this would wane in my late teens. As is common in your early 20’s I was searching for my identity and looking for some way to express the creative drive surging in me with no outlet for escape. During a trip to a spot I had frequented throughout my childhood it became clear as to where my creative path should head. The next two years were spent attaining an AA in commercial photography at Randolph Community College in North Carolina. A move to Dallas, Tx followed shortly after graduation with offers of work from internships. For the next two years I assisted and did some shooting for various clients in Dallas, mainly in catalog and advertising. It was a learning experience and a key to my technical development as an artist. Upon taking a trip out west a desire was sparked, an unending yearning to live in the west tugged and would win. The next 3 years were spent in Phoenix where tough times were met with modest gains and opportunities for regional shooting. I learned just how difficult it can be when moving with a career like commercial photography to a smaller market. It also opened my eyes to how important personal relationships with clients are and how often that was the deciding factor between getting a gig or not. Seeking a bigger market and the realization of a dream the next move was to San Francisco. This change created a growing client list with everything seemingly going in what I though was the right direction. However on May 5th 2011 tragedy appeared to strike, I was hit by a car as I was riding my mountain bike coming home from the studio. What at the time seemed unfair and ruined numerous client relationships was the catalyst for defining and realizing my true purpose. After spending a week in the hospital and two months in a wheelchair, I was given the green light by my doctor to start walking again. A life full of dealing with other broken bones had prepared me for the rigors of self-physical rehabilitation. As arduous as it was at times, the immense gratitude and love I had for not being paralyzed or dead from an accident I had less than a 5% chance of surviving and less than a 1% chance of escaping paralysis made the recovery a joyful process.
