Closely related to the language of dreams, photography reveals reflections that inform my life. Through them I seek a richer view of the literal world, in a place of the moment, seen in expanded dimensions. Within abandoned buildings, I meet a vision of the psyche. An echo punctuates human absence; carried on the light is a harbinger…These buildings are full of mystery and promise, and the longer one lingers, the more embraced one feels by a presence beyond the prosaic, in a sweeping realm, conjoined and familiar.

These photographs are a selection from an ongoing series of urban landscapes that focus on interior spaces of abandoned buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond; in 2003, the work included temple sites in South East Asia, and has now moved into other areas of this country, as I continue to photograph the abandoned cityscape of America.

Since 2002 I have printed exclusively in the pigmented inkjet process, for the last five years exclusively at Electric Works. With this new technology comes a huge increase in dynamic range, color space, and print media, as well as print longevity. Working with digital image delivery systems has opened the photographer's world to the wonders of printmaking and alternative media. These technologies facilitate the creation of large-scale works that allow the viewer to enter the image. I want others to feel a part of these places, to feel connected to the light within. True to the initial exposure, the photograph speaks directly.
