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.

THE AGE OF EXPERIMENTATION This site is now over 10 years old and was done in Flash. At the time, Flash allowed for designers (or low-level coders) to experiment in dynamic ways on the web. And that's what I wanted to do for this portfolio. I wanted to put more of myself into my

Winter Gardens (2014) I always find it more interesting to travel in times far from the peak of tourist season. In these times, scenes ask to be photographed in a completely different manner from they are seen in summer. In the winter, gardens are abandoned by all but the most devout of caretakers. In these
ATLANTIS (2018) The story of Atlantis comes from the works of Plato. At the end of the story, the island of Atlantis falls out of favor with the gods and submerges into the ocean. The term "Atlantis" has come to represent lost civilizations in the world. There also has been much speculation of the
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
