Public Space as Palette




I think it's fair to say that you could easily spend more than a quarter of your life underground as a pedestrian in New York. These surfaces. Glossy blacks. Silvers. Industrial oranges and blues. Only here.

Flagey, Ixelles, Brussels




The former National Institute for Radio Broadcasting in Brussels, Flagey hall was built in the late 1930's. I was fortunate enough to have the place to myself one morning to make these photographs.

Ghost Cities





The more I saw of these abandoned developments, the more they began to resemble ancient ruins. A reminder of that connection between ambitious nations and fallen empires.

Conjuring



An abandoned catholic school in Brooklyn where I spent a day wandering from room to room, recording traces of its past - broken floor tiles, stacks of desks, life-size statues of saints.
