Artist Statement Who remains after the world has moved on? For more than three decades, I have been drawn to what endures—photographing places and people that most pass without a second glance. Empty theaters. Forgotten storefronts. Quiet streets. A neon sign long since burned out. Buildings waiting for another life. People waiting to be seen. Time leaves its mark on people and places. One wears brick and peeling paint; the other, wrinkles, posture, and expression. Different surfaces carrying the same story. I photograph people and places the world has overlooked—not to document what has been forgotten, but to recognize what still endures. At first, I believed I was documenting architecture. Over time, I realized I was photographing memory. Every abandoned space carries evidence of the people who once filled it. Every patinaed wall holds traces of conversations, celebrations, grief, and ordinary moments that have quietly disappeared. My photographs are not about decay. They are about endurance—about time standing still and waiting for something. They linger in the fragile moment before time gives way and becomes something new. Working for decades as a commercial architectural photographer taught me precision, patience, collaboration, and a respect for light. My personal work asks different questions. It explores how places become vessels for memory, how absence can feel as tangible as presence, and why forgotten spaces often reveal more about us than the monuments we preserve. Whether I photograph an empty motel, a forgotten downtown, a person whom time seems to have forgotten, or the geometry of light crossing a neglected wall, I hope the viewer recognizes something of their own history within the frame. We all leave places behind. Sometimes the places refuse to leave us.

The Artist

SIDEBURNERS

For more than thirty years, I have carried a camera through forgotten downtowns, roadside diners, music clubs, architecture, empty theaters, quiet beaches, motel rooms, coffee shops, back alleys, and thousands of ordinary moments that somehow never felt ordinary.

This book isn’t about one subject.

It’s about a lifetime of looking.

SIDEBURNERS is a retrospective of photographs and prose created between 1994 and 2025. Within these pages are street photographs, portraits, architecture, landscapes, documentary work, personal projects, and quiet observations gathered over three decades of wandering with a camera in my hand.

Some images celebrate beauty.

Others preserve places that no longer exist.

Many simply ask us to slow down long enough to notice the poetry hidden inside everyday life.

Shot on 35mm, medium format, 4×5 film, and digital cameras, these photographs are accompanied by original writing that offers a glimpse into the thoughts, memories, and emotions behind the work.

This isn’t simply a collection of my favorite photographs.

It’s a visual journal.

A record of who I was, what I loved, what I feared losing, and the people and places that quietly shaped my life.

If you’ve ever been drawn to the glow of an old neon sign, the silence of an abandoned building, the face of a stranger, the rhythm of a city street, or the feeling that a photograph can somehow remember something we cannot… then I hope you’ll find a little of yourself inside these pages.

Welcome to SIDEBURNERS.
