I do a wide range of photography at JILA which includes doing technical photos to portraits. I have selected a few photos between the years of 2007-2009 that I have been taking at JILA and various other locations such as NIST (in Boulder).

I tend to shoot with Cannon DSLR cameras. My personal camera is a Cannon 20D (and I hope to upgrade to a 40D at some point). At work I use a Canon Rebel XT DSLR and a light rig setup. I am embarrassed to mentioned that I am forced to use a Rebel XT, but I manage to get results (its just takes more work and adjustments than the Cannon D series).

Scuttle is a collection of portraits that combines elements of photography and painting. My intent was to create a sublime and eerie feeling by skewing the proportions of the anatomy slightly causing the viewer to question the truth of the images as photographs or paintings. I was fascinated by the inherent human perception of proportions.

This is a series of depictions of childhood fears from the perspective of a child. I used the digital medium to emphasize the lights and environment to reflect the haunting and surrealistic visuals.

The objective was to focus on taking images of small or minature objects. I decided to explore objects that have potential power/importance but become useless with neglect to their size.

Surveliance of information and censorship was the premise of this project. This image combines photographic with illustrative elements.
