Monochrom
My parents could not be more different: one holds a master’s in psychology; the other, a doctorate in physics. They fell in love and made a life together. That is part of why I am drawn to monochrome. Black and white reveal the extremes, but it is the many shades of grey between them that hold the picture together.
Barnes of Ottawa
Ottawa's rural landscape is quietly losing its barns. Weathered structures that once anchored working farms, now forgotten and increasingly rare. Barnes of Ottawa is a multi-year effort to photograph them through every season, before they're gone. The title is a tribute to my mother, whose maiden name was Barnes, and the project carries a second purpose: to become a published work raising funds for cancer research. It's for her, and for everyone who has faced the big C — fighting it, having fought it, or standing beside someone who is.
