I’ve taken snapshot photos since roughly 1996, and have been spending more dedicated time as a hobbyist photographer since 2010. I try to follow my instincts in terms of choices of subject, and these have in recent years been largely steered by my surroundings: as a New York City resident, I spent much time taking street photography photos during commutes and lunchtime walks. Now, living in central Pennsylvania, my focus has shifted to nature, landscapes, and the area’s towns. In addition to being a father and husband, I am a PhD candidate in English and Visual Culture. My research focuses on representations of technology companies and of hardware and software engineering in literature, film, and television. Once in a very long while I write non-fiction essays.
