The people I choose to photograph are often those for whom negative or tragically simple attitudes have been formed by a majority of the society in which we live.  In an age of technology and urbanization I am drawn to the boundaries, to people whose existence is self-defined.  I look for people who can't or don't want to fit.
“…The ‘frame’ in the finished work is evidence of the Polaroid process and imposes a subtle internal border.”  –Artist statement
