I consider my work to be democratic, I often look for interest from the banal, things that people may overlook or take for granted. I strive to make my images simple and transcendental. I embrace the lo-fi ethos of blur, distortion, and aberration, and enjoy working with cheap instant, toy, vintage, and analog photographic equipment and utilizing alternative techniques.

    "One of the best pinhole artists here, and THE best polaroid artist - all in one guy. His inventive images make the world seem much scarier, yet at the same time more beautiful. Which is strange, isn't it?"
