Purse Art Photo Book
Humans have been carrying purses for thousands of years. 5000 year old Otto the Iceman was found frozen in an iceberg with his. From leather pouches to fanny packs, the ubiquitous purse from any century holds secrets known only to its owner.
I have been collecting and photographing purses along with items that may or may not have been hidden within them. Jewelry, a loose button, even weapons, all have found their ways in and out of purses. What's in yours?
Some work was shot with a 1960’s Speed Graphic 4 x 5 film camera and scanned with an Imacon. Polaroid test shots are also produced.
Ashtray Art Photo Book
was selected for the Davis Orton Gallery / Griffin Museum 2022 Photobook Competition
Ashtrays were ubiquitous. We would see them at home, work, school and in stores and even Doctors offices. Air travel had smoking sections as did restaurants.
Ashtrays are still around, but they cater to a much smaller and specialized audience. So what happened to all the ceramic art deco, plastic atomic age and tin gas station ashtrays? Well I found them and photographed them. Their designs are icons of kitch, mod, retro and whatever your grandmothers living room looked like.
