What's Past Is Prologue" - Transformation of the Folger Shakespeare Library 2020 - 2024

I have created an artist's book of the work I did for over four years documenting the demolition, construction, and renovation of the Folger Shakespeare Library in DC. It was a marvel and a learning experience to do this work on behalf of the Folger. 

You can preview the entire book for free or purchase it if you feel so moved. Thanks to the good folks at the Folger and the hard-working construction crews who trusted me do record the process. 

Enjoy. 

A link to the book is here.

Capitol Jewish Museum / Construction selects

I recently documented new construction being undertaken at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington DC. It's going to be a very interesting space with great meaning for the community when it is completed in 2022.

These are a few pictures that rang out to my personal sensibilities.

Thanks to curatorial assistant Jonathan Edelman for his help and support for my work.

"I Saw The Figure 4 In Orange"

Workers, California.

I made these photographs of workers in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Oakland, and San Francisco, California in summer 2016 for LiUNA, the Laborers International Union of North America.

I was the photographer in a crew that documented skilled laborers and other union members engaged in bridge and subway building, law enforcement and traffic work, solar energy facility construction, plus park and bridge maintenance.

Thanks to Ed Rehfeld of LiUNA for these assignments.
