Angry Planet

Angry Planet

Angry Planet, 2023

The source image for angry planet came from the renovation of the Motion Picture Museum in Los Angeles, while it was still under construction. The title is derived from the fact that the two eyes in the center of the planet don’t look happy because of the construction eating into the surface and decimating it’s natural beauty.

Centerpede

Centerpede

Centerpede, 2022

Centerpede looks like some giant creature crawling around with thousands of legs, observing you with the giant eye positioned in the middle of its anatomy. The source image is simply a fence corner somewhere in Van Nuys, CA, but the red color and in contrast with the blue sky creates a perception of organic complexity.

GeoVascular

GeoVascular

GeoVascular, 2022

The source image for this is a tree in West Hollywood that I photographed while walking around with an infrared camera. Once processed, I noticed that when inverted, the image looked like a pair of lungs with an exposed vascular system, which seemed like a good metaphor for the degradation of our environment.

Instrument of Mass Distraction

Instrument of Mass Distraction

Instrument of Mass Distraction, 2018

The source image is photo of portable corona typewriter from the early 1900s, which is the precursor of today’s portable computers and other communication devices. Typewriter keyboards remain a primary tool used to separate us from oblivion, and the skill with which it is wielded deeply affects our perceptions, reality and all that follows. When I mirrored the image, it resembled an Accordion, and made me want to put a twist on the concept of ‘the pen is mightier than the sword,’ on a global, WMD sized scale.

The Librarian

The Librarian

The Librarian, 2011

The source image for this is the sign of a building in Santa Monica with art deco features.
Once the image was processed, I was struck by how the image affects depth perception, beyond the details of the canopy looking somewhat like the pages of an open book, along with what looks like a stern face, reminded me perfectly of every librarian that has ever told me to be quiet.

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point, 2006

Vanishing point started as a photo of a sealed off loading dock of a giant warehouse, in the arts district of downtown Los Angeles. The resulting image disappears far back into the distance, and is reminiscing of artistic perspective, studies, disappearing at a central point on the horizon.

The Architect

The Architect, 1993

The architect himself is actually a stained glass window designer, combined with Gothic architecture from a building in Cheltenham, UK, as well as a wooden sculpture from a mansion in the same area, and the clear calm waters of the Menai straits, in North Wales. The different elements create an image that comments on man’s mastery over nature, or the divine plan for all of us.

WTC, NYC

WTC, NYC, 1991

I’m not sure of the exact date this picture was taken because it was shot on film, but it is not a composite. One day in 1990 or 1991, I ventured out to the west shoreline of Manhattan, and was struck by this rusted beam from the long ago demolition of a building on a pier. By trying to make the broken steel beam a part of the background skyline, I was trying confuse the viewer’s sense of depth and scale, but also make a visual statement that sooner or later mankind’s greatest accomplishments would be lying in ruins, not realizing at the time that a only decade later, the World Trade Center would itself be a twisted pile of broken steel.
