I am interested in exploring how to communicate a sense of place beyond
what individual photographs can.  How does one combine sets ofsn apshots 
into a single image which progresses beyond conveying a simple visual 
record to expressing the psycho-geographical landscape?

Having been raised in a rural town in northern Arizona, Times Square was 
(and is) both fascinating and intimidating to me.  I've had the experience 
of sampling its evolution over the past 25 years during visits to New York 
City.

"Witching Hour" and "Ex Cathedra" are stylized composites of twelve
photographs of Times Square, taken at different times and locations.  Even 
though Times Square has been cleaned up and made tourist-friendly, you 
can still sense ghosts and fragments of its previous incarnation, late at 
night when the cacophony of sights and sounds blur and blend together 
and time becomes illusory.
