Throughout the 1990s news accounts regularly appeared detailing allegations of overcrowding, inmate neglect, sexual misconduct, beatings, and guards' use of stun guns. Detainees regularly staged hunger strikes. Advocates held demonstrations to protest the conditions and testified before innumerable boards to draw attention to abuses. In 1990 when two teachers who worked at Krome were removed after complaining to the media about inmate treatment, I was contracted by a local newspaper to document conditions at the facility.

Born in Greenwich Village, New York , Oculus became interested in photography as a child when gifted an old twin-lens reflex camera by a relative. A casual relationship with photography ensued and continued until at the University he became involved in an anthropological study that involved photographing the garbage of numerous residents in a variety of different neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs of New York. Upon reviewing the images for the purpose of creating an inventory of the items found, cataloging and comparing the items in order to draw sociological conclusions, he noticed that many of the images were visually and aesthetically fascinating. It was then that he realized that virtually ‘anything’ could be photographed to produce beautiful images. During the late 80’s through mid 90’s oculus was a regular contributor to the Spanish edition of the Miami Herald and the Miami New Times and has produced work for clients such as Eastman Kodak, PepsiCo, Reuters News Service, Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Holiday Inn, Paradise Island Resort & Casino, StoCorp, Alcoa, Phelps-Dodge, Warner Bros.,.et al. His work has appeared in numerous publications including newspapers, magazines, brochures, annual reports and textbooks and can be found in corporate and private collections.
