The Symmetry Theory

I believe am a logical thinker. I see the world in chaos and want to just organize it in a way that makes the most sense to me. I needed to put this in my photographic work so I spent the better part of 3 months seeing the world at night through the viewfinder. I wanted nothing more than to capture these moments in time on film. 
 I went in to the world at times when most people are asleep and let the chemistry of my film freeze time in my emulsion. Most of these images were shot with a medium format camera or my 4x5 field camera. Although these digital scans change what you see somewhat I believe they should be shared with the world. 
Enjoy the visual experience and if you feel so inclined order a darkroom print or even an inkjet print for your home. Contact me if you want to know about my process for these images or are just curious about the work. Thanks for stopping by.
