Homage to Pet Shop Boys’ Release album cover, 2023
I photographed a backyard hibiscus in a manner similar to the poppy photographed by Dan Forbes for Pet Shop Boys’ Release album cover. This is an untreated photo, though cropped to 1:1.

Self portrait homage to Björk’s Debut Album cover, 2023
I’ve taken the basic elements of Björk’s album cover photo by Jean-Baptiste Mondino - the makeup, the sweater, hands together, and shot this photo. This is the untreated version. I’ve run it through Snapseed to achieve a grainy sepia effect.

Homage to Depeche Mode’s Exciter album cover, 2023
My photo of an agave plant found in my neighborhood is an homage to the one photographed by Anton Corbijn, whom I became aware of in my teens before Depeche Mode’s commercial breakthrough in the late 1980s.

Hillside spot, 2022
This is of the hillsides near the lighthouse on the grounds of the Cabrillo National Monument. It’s a landscape macro with the anomaly of a bare patch of sandstone and the peeking out of another geological layer.

Woman sitting on the bench, 2022
This one is a candid shot of someone sitting on a bench at Windandsea Beach. It was an exercise in seeing a story in something I encountered now along with framing it in the composition.

Sharkhead Robot from 1950’s Sci Fi Film, 2022
Tourist binoculars shot from the side with clouds and the Pacific Ocean in the background. Here, I used the filtered sunlight of a partially cloudy day to help create a vintage effect in this color photo.

House on Mission Blvd, 2021
Film and darkroom print treated with tea.
This photo of a house near Belmont Park was botched in development, one of several at the time. I toned it with tea, giving it an antique and otherworldly quality.

Cereus bloom, 2021.
I lit the night-blooming cereus flower from the side and shot it “in profile,” giving it an otherworldly glow.
I made use of a DIY light source with an IKEA crookneck lamp and a piece of printer paper wrapped around the bulb.
