Small Scale Fabricated Photography, Toy Photography History, Art Creation Musings
A tiny glass mouse and a book of Frank Lloyd Wright paper architectural models, both discovered during a visit to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, inspired a new photographic adventure. His first stop is the Freeman House, where imperfect paper construction becomes an unfamiliar world to explore. Perhaps one day he'll find a house to call home.

Some of the most vivid, hyper-associative imagery our minds ever generate is completely lost to us. It happens during the "twilight zone" of consciousness—the exact transition stage between being wide awake and falling asleep, known as the hypnagogic state.... Continue Reading →
