People observe and collect just as a photographer observes and collects images. My work is about the common objects people collect and use in their everyday lives. Knickknacks, lawn ornaments, and furniture, with the list continuing, are objects that are familiar to most people. It is through these things that we see everyone has a different idea of "normal." What people do with their objects in their space, be it conventional or not, is noteworthy evoking a narrative about the people who interact with the place that not only describes personal times in their lives, but also of their culture as a whole.

Most photographs are pigmented inkjet prints from 4x5 or medium format negatives. In the Archived Images gallery the photographs are straight color coupler prints from negatives.
