Biography

I am a little boy. Like Peter Pan, I will never grow up. I like clover, clouds, and kites. Cameras and books are my biggest materialist obsessions.

~~I am currently an Undergraduate student at the University of New Orleans studying Liberal and Fine Arts.~~ My interests and major areas of study include Art, Philosophy, French, and Writing. I also love to travel, and have gained much insight and inspiration though wandering.

If you have any questions about this website or would like more information about me or my work, please contact me. If you really love my photography, and the few hundred images on this site just aren’t enough, check out my flickr page or my new sleek corporate site, Reciprocity Images. Also you can take a look at the most commented images here on Seeking Focus.

Artist’s Statement

I am still trying to find my place in the art world. My work engages a variety of mediums including, but not limited to photography, sculpture, printmaking, painting, and writing. My goal is to find a seamless integration of all these methods. I believe art has no limits, and to assign a greater or lesser value to any one technique would be detrimental. Rather, I would prefer to interchange any or all of them at will, in any given situation.

Ideally perhaps, there would be no distinction among various disciplines and one would no longer be able to find boundaries between say, photography and sculpture, or even (to be obnoxiously poetic) art and life.

Photography in particular, is a huge creative outlet for a me, and provides me with a way to show others bit of how I see the world. I am constantly looking for new ways to explore and express myself though the many photographic mediums.

Colophon

Site created with Textpattern and uses the template Widescreen by James Pratt, which I edited slightly. HTML and CSS are editied in Dreamweaver 8 and TopStyle accordingly; graphics in Corel Paint Shop Pro X.

This site uses (usually) valid Extensible HyperText Markup Language 1.0 (XHTML 1.0) and Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 (CSS), both W3C technologies, for layout.

SeekingFocus was designed for and tested on FireFox. It degrades well in Netscape 8.1 and Opera 9.0, but IE 6.0 chokes on bits of CSS. In other words, please use almost anything but Internet Explorer to view this site.
