I've begun a new B&W photo series, titled Ars Moriendi (meaning "the art of dying"), which -using real human bones and nude models- is meant to serve as a memento mori.

Currently, Works III, IIIV and IX are available as 8 x 10" (20 x 25.5 cm) signed prints through my Etsy.

New photo zine, titled In the Driver's Seat, out now!

This zine contains 42 of my "dashboard photographs", collected to represent the loneliness of life on the road.
Available at my Etsy for only $9 (with free shipping in the United States).

The Forgotten Rides photo book is finally available! You can pick one up over at my Etsy.
180+ full-color photos in a 9" x 7" (23 x 18 cm) hand-numbered softcover, limited to 200 copies. Each comes with two hand-signed and numbered, glossy, full color, 5 x 7" (13 x 18 cm) prints.

I have also produced a new related fanzine, Forgotten Rides: The Fanzine, Wheel Edition.

It's a full-color, glossy, landscape 5.5" x 8.5" (14 x 21 cm) zine, limited to only 50 copies, containing 22 photos not found in the upcoming book. All copies are hand signed / numbered, and available for only $8 postage paid from my Etsy shop (add another $5 outside the United States).
Four of the Forgotten Rides photos have been made into a postcard set.

The four postcard print set from this photo series are glossy, full color, 5 x 7" (13 x 18 cm) prints on heavy cardstock, limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, and presented in an envelope with an embossed silver seal. They are available for $10, with postage paid within the United States, and are available through my Etsy.
My previous photo zine, Forgotten Rides: The Fanzine, is now sold out.

Forgotten Rides: the Fanzine was a full-color, glossy, 8.5" x 5.5" (21 x 14 cm) zine, limited to only 50 copies, containing 42 photos not found in the upcoming book. All copies were hand signed, and numbered.

My previous photography book, Ad Removal As Modern Art -with over 180 photos of the inadvertent art created by trashing NYC subway advertising- is almost sold out.

This collection of my photographs was released in a full-color, 9" x 7" book, with glossy pages, and was limited to only 200 hand-numbered copies.
I have also released a new ten postcard set from the Ad Removal As Modern Art photo series.

The collection holds ten different 5" x 7" postcards, with full color UV-protected fronts, and uncoated matte backs, so you can use them as actual postcards, but also frame them, seeing they really do look like modern art pieces. The set is $20 with postage paid for in the United States, but add another $6 if you're outside of the country.

My two-zine set, Vertical and Horizontal are almost sold out.

Vertical and Horizontal showcase 68 of my photographs (34 in each zine), on glossy, full-color 8.5" x 5.5" pages.
Released in an edition of only 50 copies, they are $12 for the set (add another $8 outside North America). Please note that neither zine will be sold separately.
Contact me to order.

Limited edition retro photo viewers are now sold out!

Two sets of seven photos each; one set of color photos, and another in black/white. Color set came with a blue plastic viewer in pink box, along with color photo wheel. Black/white set came with black plastic viewer in white box, along with black/white photo wheel. Each set was limited to only 33 copies, all signed and numbered.

My battle jacket photo booklet, Ready For War, is sold out.

It was limited to 200 copies, and collected 100 photos of my favorite battle jackets I've captured from 2013 - 2018 (107 if you count the front and back covers), on full-color glossy pages. The booklet came with two 5x7" postcards, each with 8 different battle jacket pics.
My photo fanzine, Ready For War: The Florida Edition, with never-before published photos, collecting 48 battle jackets from my home state of FL, is also now sold out.

It was beautifully produced, with thick cover, and glossy full-color interior pages, and was limited to 100 copies.

A handful of my photos have appeared in Able Muse, The Sonder Review, and Driftwood Press magazines, plus online in Curbside Splendor, Olentangy Review, as well as a seven-part series of my text photos at The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts, and Arizona State University's Superstition Review (issue #15), while making the cover for issue #147 of Crack the Spine. I also had a photo project for Razorcake Magazine's website, and the textbook The Challenge of Democracy (published by Cengage Learning / Lumina Datamatics) has used some of my photography. One of my many series of photos from visits to Dead Horse Bay (2010) has been posted at Underwater New York, a digital journal of stories, art and music inspired by the waterways that surround New York City, and the objects submerged within them.
As always, good things are happening, and great things to come, so stay posted.

VIDEO / FILM PROJECTS

I've made music videos for my industrial music outfit 156. One is for the first track, "Kokoro", off the 2016 EP, Memento Mori, which was played using only human bones. You can view the video here, and one can purchase the digital EP by contacting me, but the vinyl has since sold out.

Brooklyn's Alright If You Like Saxophones is off the air, but was a wonderful two years airing on Brooklyn Public Network.

You can still see select episodes on the Brooklyn's Alright YouTube page.

I made a few short films throughout the years, as well as two short docs. You can view Staring at the Ground here, Where Even Fools Often Fear to Tread here, and four throwaways, here. Plus, I made a quick documentary on Max Neuhaus' sound installation Times Square (that's here), and one on Dead Horse Bay, and it's problematic shoreline (view it here).

I used to carry a camera to a lot of live punk, and metal shows, and placed clips of some of them on Vimeo.

COLLABS + COLLUSIONS

I had made a music video montage for Robert Turman's "F-berg" off his CD Square Abstractions. The music was recorded in Copenhagen, in August of 2014, while the footage was filmed in Brooklyn and Queens in 2015.
You can view it here. Back in 2013, I created another video montage for his track "Allow Any Radio", from the LP on Fabrica Records, Macro. Check that out here. In 2013, I also curated a video montage for Jason Lescalleet's track "Escargot", which is off his double CD Songs About Nothing. You can watch that here. In 2012, I put together a video montage for Miami duo The Waterford Landing, because the song "Eminent Domain" is one of the greatest synth tracks around today, and it wasn't on YouTube, so now the world can groove to it here.

I played the male lead in Andrew Copp's short film Consumption of the Heart.

The film is on volume five of JABB Pictures The Collective DVD series. It's a zombie love story like no other. For only $10, you get 10 short flicks by 10 underground directors with one synopsis: the undead.
Rest in peace, Andy (1972 - 2013). You will be missed.
