I've always been fascinated by texture, aged and weathered objects. In this series entitled Used Sci-Fi, I'm examining how modern machines, tools and materials age. While my starting point was a simple exercise in examining texture, the series as a whole has become a meditation on consumerism. We live within an addictive economic model less than a century old that society seems unwilling to even consider an alternative to, despite the destruction it's inflicting on our world.

I've been trying to photograph a barbershop in every city I visit recently. As our cities become homogenized by malls filled with chain stores and franchises, family businesses rich in character history and tradition are quietly vanishing at an unnoticed yet astonishing rate. Barbershops offer me as a photographer an intimate social space,a quiet crossroads where a community's traditions and attitudes can be explored and captured.
New York City, images of it's architecture people and atmosphere.
