Documentary photography concentrating on ready-made human-habitat situations lingering between genesis and abandonment. The liminal spaces that remain as our materialized aspirations fade. I'm on a mission, catching quiet images, fishing in the rivers of light.
Living and working in Austin, Texas, I am an independent still photography documentarian producing 'distinctly American' and 'psychogeography' image series. Editions are published as photo zines, portfolio box print sets, and online here at catmonkeyrun.com.
Photo-series editions comprising scenes or subjects characteristic of the United States of America, its civilization, or its culture broadly : things typical of the USA.
Geotagged photo-series editions exploring human-habitats considered with regard to their influence on the mind and behavior.
Photo Postcard or Zine Swap: I'll send you one of my photo postcards or zines in exchange for one of yours.
How? Send me a "Postcard Swap" email.
I'd like a postcard without swapping! You can send me a self-addressed stamped envelope big enough for a 4x6 postcard (USA addresses only). Just send me a "I'd like a postcard" email.
proviso: I reserve the right not to proceed with a swap request if I think its inauthentic.
