The Immortal Flight--- We live in a time and age of lost control and
lost souls. The powers that be destroy and murder just to further
their power over people like you and me. No matter who is pulling the
strings which remains a mystery, they are going to sip their martinis
and laugh at the disease that they have helped create. The only choice
we have is to rise above and passed the societal brainwash that they
teach. Each individual has been born with the right to stand up and
fight for the love that is implanted in our chests. The right to dig
deep and find that soul that no matter how little control we have over
the world, the change starts inside you and me. We are all destined
for immortality, just follow the light.

New York City is one of the most viewed cities in the world, especially through photography. Postcards, snapshots, and advertisements have enveloped this massive, breathing city in frozen mementos of vivid color. A city that is undeniably full of life with its busy streets, blinking lights, waves of sounds and smells can carry a ship or drown it. This is the New York that most know. I hope to create an alternate perspective with these images; photographically reveal the hidden pieces, moments and movements that are often overlooked or not believed to exist. “Solipsist” is a break down of Manhattan, offering only a rat's eye view of a not so sunny day along the avenues.

Setting a Diana+ camera on the ground, I randomly clicked the shutter in search of the existence of the quiet spaces. Using the little plastic camera to record the fleeting seconds of silence, slow motion, and self awareness in relation to the metropolis; A post it note, a mid-week epiphany to the nine to fivers, the dreamers, every inhabitant rushing to get to one end of the island or another, to stop. Stop.

Manhattan isn't alive, the people in it are. The city is just a bed consumed with lovers.

The focus of my work is on the colors and illusions of movement, depth, and luminosity that are common to most of my work. It has been described as sci-fi abstracted, quasi-organic form. Important influences on my work are Boris Vallejo and H.R. Giger.

I do not try to communicate underlying messages, but rather wish the viewer to discover his/her own connection and interpretation of my work. There are no messages or hidden agendas. I usually don't set out knowing exactly what my work is going to look like, but am most comfortable watching where my hands take me - much like getting into a trance. It’s mostly just inspired by my imagination. I’m not interested in changing what art "means" or fitting into some kind of cultural or "style" category, but strive to follow my internal guidance, and my feelings. If other people end up liking my work, it's an added bonus. I’m not saying this is the best and only way to approach creation - it's just the way I work and produce best and I've discovered through my own experience that my work speaks most clearly when I let it speak on its own.

Growing up in Bayonne New Jersey wasn’t the ideal environment for nature photography. It also doesn’t provide a good environment for a voice over talent, considering the heavy “Jerseyesque” dialect that surrounded my ears.

But despite being raised looking at chemical tanks and listening to “See ya”, and “How you doin”, I managed to see beyond the industrial barriers to the beautiful organic soul of my surroundings.

The voyage of the mind is quite special. It allows us to open doors and visit places we did not think were possible. It makes us feel human and sometimes more. You can feed your head while wild flowers talked to you for hours, nothing more but a terrestial dream, dancing stars on a red sky and then soon you were living a painting. Wather molecules become waterfalls and bedroom portals peacfully invite you. You speak in colors you think in words. Tricks are trickier, while the world a wicked chase. The visuals of crawling geometric colored patterns behind the eyes play lead in the journey, following a sense of time distorting, and raw mental penetration. The voyage leads to disintegration and restructuring of the historical personality. Its a sane insanity creating a mental state regarding the nature of your own personality with a greater sense of choice and the divine. Your ass will follow when you free your mind, so take a trip and multiply.
