core to the longstanding neoscenes photographic praxis is the collaborative
process of portraiture. starting back in high school in suburban Maryland,
working hard to make the yearbook a representative collection of the campus
ambience. from this process that was beginning to embed into the less self-conscious
methodology of imaging who I was with, what I was doing, and where I was,

mediated, to be sure, but a powerful medium for sharing a moment. see the
essay I wrote for a major exhibition of 80 portrait works at the Nicéphore
Niépce Museum in France in 1992 for a more detailed outline of the essence of my
portrait work.
