With Liquid, I created this animated piece, showing the capabilities of Intel Xeon processors. Traditionally, high tech sales websites contain dry lists of specs and performance charts. So I experimented in a different route, and gave the site the feel of a pop-up book. Pages would curl over, and information would flip up.
To add to the feeling, we brought in comic book artist, Val Mayerik (co-creator of Howard the Duck) to illustrate the pages. The client later hesitated on the illustrations, and asked us to replace it all with stock photography. This was a moment of decision we all face in client feedback. I started making the switch, until my heart wouldn’t let me go on (it’s a pop-up book for god’s sake). So I pushed back on the team and client. In doing so, everyone agreed, and the piece was genuinely more fun because of that.

PRACTICE RESURRECTION Years ago, some friends of mine and their band "Metal" had put out album of ambient music tracks. I was inspired by the sounds they produced, and so I started working on an idea for a video piece that could be projected behind their live performances. I made a simple animation of a tree,
DREAM SEQUENCES I started taking most of these film photographs in the early 2000s. While in university, I purchased an original Diana Camera, a camera made in the early 1960s as a cheap toy camera. And with it, I began experimenting with photographing in a much less precise way. With the camera, infamous for light leaks
A SERIES OF TREES I am fascinated by trees. They are sculptures from nature. And they can grow in the most peculiar of places. I think of their sense of balance that is imprinted within them. With each branch growing in one direction, another must grow as a counterbalance. When a strong wind blows
