NightScapes is a series of experimental photographs that was my senior thesis in college. It is an ongoing series that I believe I will continue experimenting with throughout my entire life. For me it was about finding a place in nature that hasn't been touched by man. That the night has a beauty all it's own. The kind of beauty we didn't know was there and that the naked eye cannot see. I have been slowly scanning in all my film images to create a digital library of all my work. This portfolio is also a work in progress as I continue to scan in my other NightScapes and as I progressively shoot more. I still want to carry on this series with film but have decided to also experiment in a digital format as well.

Scopello, Sicily
All my work up until recently was film based. I love shooting film. It is how I was taught and there is something amazing about being able to create an image in the darkroom; which is why I fell in love with Photography in the first place. My love for the darkroom is still there, but times have changed, and I can't always get to a dark room, so I have gone digital. That doesn't mean I don't shoot film anymore, especially large format, I am just keeping pace with the rest of the world. Over the past 7 months I have been scanning in all my film prints so I can have a digital portfolio. But when I got my new computer somehow, someway, my external hard drive ended up being wiped of all information. So I am slowly starting the process over again. I'm re-scanning all my work again, so as of now I only have a few images up, but there will be more to come!

Paugussett Rope Swing
Digital C-Print
After some major set backs since my last post, I finally was able to dump some recently shot images. I shot this while hiking in Paugussett state forest one afternoon. I am particularly drawn to this image for different reasons. I am drawn to the rich colors, the over all composition, and how any one that sees this image can find a way to relate to it. Whether it be a pastime that they enjoyed when they were young or a subliminal message that they may find with in the image itself. There will be more to come shortly now that I am back up and running!
