Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots.

When I lived in New York at Mulberry & Houston I would often walk by Jen Bekman's gallery on Spring st. and peek in at the latest photography exhibit. Since I've been gone I've been following it vicariously on her blog. I recently purchased two prints from her 20x200 program where she sells 200 small prints for $20 each from various artists. The photo on the left is by Kate Bingman-Burt as part of her Obsessive Consumption series. It reminds me of standing outside a Jumbo in Santiago, Chile late on a fall afternoon, seeing a similar line of shopping carts and wanting to take a picture. The photo on the right, Bags, is by Beth Dow from her Fieldwork series. I got this print because it reminded me of an Adam Gopnik article from the New Yorker [not online, it seems] about a crazy guy who walks around the west village with a long pole removing plastic super-market bags from trees. Anyway, the prints are small but nice and don't take up a lot of space. $20 is not a hard amount to justify. Oh, and I just bought a 3rd picture by Joseph O Holmes of Joe's NYC.

I'll also try to stop taking photos of photos and put up some more interesting stuff here :)

Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
