The Philosophy of Entropic Remnants Photography
Photography is capturing something - a story, a feeling, a mood - in two dimensional color, tone, and shape.
Entropy is the tendency of the ordered universe to slide towards disorder. Large things break into smaller pieces which ultimately break down into even smaller units.
But everything is still here. Nothing is missing. Everything passes, everything remains...
I seek to get close to subjects because true intimacy isn't achieved by distant observation either in relationships or photography.
Most of my nature photography and my industrial archaeology photography focuses on smaller areas - basic units which make up the bigger picture. In my portrait and event work I seek to capture the feeling of a moment - a moment which has passed, but always will be.
I hope you enjoy the images here and find them in some way unique.
I live in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, PA and I am for hire if you're interested. You'll find a wide variety of work here and I am quite versatile shooting in available light or with limited flash support.
For more information and how to contact me, please see the Entropic Remnants website.

Noss4ra2 says:
"If there was ever a breathing example of a mad scientist, John is it! He takes some wires and solder and constructs an accurate device that can test the shutter speed of a camera that was built before he was born.
After he rescues these light boxes, lovingly cleans and tests them, he turns them on the world he sees and coaxes the most beautiful images of the most inhospitable scenes. His color shots of the daily workings of a steel mill are rich and dreamlike. The B&W work is composed with care to reveal the velvet-black shadows that make up the industrial vista.
On top of all this John is a wealth of knowledge. From digital to film, and computers to customs of rural India, he is always ready to share this wealth. Only problem is, I have to stop John and remind him to speak in layman's terms. But he has the patience of a saint and sticks with it until even I understand the answer to the question I've asked.
I don't want to leave Alyssa out of this. I am amazed that such a young woman is producing the beautiful high keys and truly capturing youth so with such composure and maturity.
Keep up the great work, your photostream is a pleasure to review!"25th March, 2010
