About The Project
I have been making images for almost as long as I can remember. As a young child growing up in New Jersey, my most constant companions were 8mm cameras and cassette machines; I spent countless hours recording myself, my friends, and my environment, and making animated films. I came to still photography later, but with no less a sense of wonder and exploration.
The genesis of the Junk Drawers project was a sudden pang of nostalgia for that place in the corner of my childhood kitchen where the detritus of our lives ended up -- objects often of marginal consequence, but sometimes great importance, somehow too special to throw away, seldom animal or vegetable, and always, by necessity, smaller than a breadbox.
