We're living in a society.

Designer. Photographer. Connector.

I've called myself a graphic designer every since my resume starting saying I was. That was 1988. Four years ago I started taking portraits of strangers which led to me photographing just about everything else. So now I call myself a photographer too.

The subtitle "We're Living in a Society" comes from one of my favorite lines from Seinfeld. It was only uttered twice, from what I remember, and only from George. On those two occasions George felt he was the victim of questionable behavior from strangers. Their selfish acts (simply not telling him the time, or monopolizing a pay phone) caused him to exclaim, "You know we're living in a society!"

I thought that I might share stories here where I witnessed similar behavior but quickly changed my mind, thinking I did not want to focus on the negative, but more the positive actions of strangers that I encounter and photograph. Still, I love the message and especially when I can show that others understand it and act accordingly.
