Forty & Fabulous

In working with Blink of an Eye Photography, I had the pleasure of photographing Leslie's 40th birthday. This was the most unique party I've been to! Dressed in all white. Croquet, bocce, music, salsa dancing. And live lobster! The food was served right on the table. Literally. It was so fun to be apart of. Thank you Leslie & family, as well as Carmen. Enjoy!

Including the Kitchen Sink

My fascination with the mundane, and turning it into something extraordinary, led me to take my camera to the kitchen sink. I explored the kitchen spaces occupied by students on campus. The imagery began as purely descriptive, and as a collection they could be interpreted as records of private lives. In positioning myself at an aerial view and honing in on subject matter, I became more concerned with aesthetics and formal issues.

These objects were not intentionally arranged, but I treated them as if they were meticulously composed still lifes. Careful consideration was given to the frame and the existing quality of light to build a strong composition highlighting the shapes, textures and surfaces of these everyday, grubby household items. By making prints on a larger scale, the presence of these "disregarded" sinks become monumental. The imagery exemplifies the imperfect, while revealing the aesthetic aura of the banal kitchen sink.
