About

A Brief History

Born and raised in Catskill, NY, I picked up a camera in high school and am still amazed by photography’s ability to create interpretations of reality. My passion is using photographs to make books and zines, and to wring every bit of meaning that I can from putting images together to mean more than what they do as individual photographs. I have a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, don’t have any intention of getting an MFA, and love teaching whenever I have the chance. Collage and film making have become bigger interests of mine as well, and I hope to get into cinematography more.
