Photographer / Environmental Activist The photographs in the Imago series on theses pages are of weathered surfaces, graffiti, random paint, and patterns found on walls, lampposts, and doors in the streets of New York, Brooklyn, and Havana. Although non-representational imagery is generally seen as the domain of painting, I have come to think in terms of individual images, rather than whether it is a photograph, a collage, or a painting. When removed from its physical context, the photographed object is transformed into a realm of color, shape, space, energy, mood, and mystery. I photograph commonplace, and consequently, “invisible” surfaces as a means of probing the unseen and intangible.
