Many of my photographic essays explore the idea of home and the passing of time. “Last House Standing” and, “The Camps”, have received wide press both nationally and abroad (The Paris Review, iGnant, La Repubblica, Slate, Wired Magazine). More recently, I have been exploring the myriad structures of the urban core in series like Towers, Street and Stairwells.
My photographs have been shown at a number of national galleries and venues including the Baltimore Museum of Art; the Delaware Art Museum; The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA; The Center for Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins, CO; The Photographic Resource Center in Boston; and the Houston Center for Photography. “Last House Standing (And Other Stories)” was featured in a 2014 solo exhibit at the C. Grimaldis Gallery in Baltimore. My work is also in several important collections including the Baltimore Museum of Art.
About ‘House Apart’:
For many years, I have been photographing abandoned houses in the countryside around Baltimore and throughout the remote eastern shore territories across the Chesapeake Bay. Here, many of the older homesteads and farms are in the process of being replaced by planned communities, mega-malls, industrial parks and other forms of urban sprawl.
For as long as anyone can remember (and then some) these homes were occupied by generations of thriving families. More recently, financial pressures from developers, a declining interest in farming, as well as other life events, have left the houses stranded. Some await the wrecking ball while the rest will simply vanish into the woods and underbrush.
