My Style
I do not edit any of my images beyond cropping. I capture angles, light, proportions, and motion as I see it.
I look for beauty, irony, the unnoticed, the profound and the absurd and try to capture or magnify it.
And in that sense, I suppose my photographic approach mirrors my music making.
Enjoy!

This sign was too absurd to pass up. So my brother and I staged a photo op.	Driving in the heart of Moscow is hard. Sometimes a horn just isn't enough. (scan)	Walking in downtown Baltimore- you can't script this stuff. (scan)
Yes I have a penguin named Schubert. He has assisted in many inpromptu concerts and has been there for the birth of many compositions - his talent is holding down wayward pages.	Boston, or San Fransisco?	You've got to hand it to the Irish: for a country that relies so much on foreign tourism, they don't make it easy.
In San Francisco, there is a working museum of antique mechanical games and novelties - in which I found this doozy....It contains a piano, organ pipes, a violin, and all smattering of percussion. Drop a quarter in and it will treat you to an automated rendition of all the hits of its bygone era. Consider it ProTools' grandfather.	If you see a giant, baby blue metal seabird towering over you, you might be in Eugene, OR
