"What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.  This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness.  It is harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.  It is easy in the world to live after the worlds opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

-Emerson 

For me, the beginning must hold true in the end.  Otherwise, it was all for nothing.

PROJECT X - In Process

2012-2013 photo expose of the NYC homeless population. 

Series to capture the underground winter migration in a post 9-11 environment.  It focuses on the new population demographics, their support structure, the overwhelmed shelter system and the places the homeless are forced to migrate when facing harsh winter conditions.  This is an unscensored view into the dangers homeless men, women and children face on a daily basis in NYC.  It is shot from an inside-out perspective...from the offices of the bureaucrats, to the parks, to deep within the underground tunnels and channels of the city itself.  

Release date = 2013-2014

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Back reads: "Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus."

"13, an ceacht"

48" x 48" I have come to realize the past is my own…that life exists exactly where I have driven it to be.  The choices we make eventually fall into the pool of our lives.  They ripple across the surface of our existence…holding the potential to create and the power to destroy.  It’s easy to blame someone or something else when things go wrong…to exaggerate influence over decisions...to point to the dynamics for the choices we make.  But it’s pointless, serving only to delay our understanding.  Without resolution, we encounter a circle of constant re-education.  The lesson is taught...again...and again.  Time eventually sees it through...eroding the stubborn edges of a resistant subconscious like a stone smoothing and rounding as it crosses the Atlantic.  Enlightenment and understanding can only come from a journey first within...and eventually without.  It has taken me a very long time to understand that…and to learn the lessons of a life in resistance.
