What do you do?
I am a photographer, recent graduate of Buffalo State College, and resident artist at the 464 Gallery in Buffalo, NY. My work documents what happens following the rise and fall of industry- the decline in population and the growth of crime, vandalism, and architectural abandonment. When industry collapses, factories, churches, homes, and schools are reduced to ruins and decay spreads like a cancer. Each image is a visual record of how the community has changed over time, a portrait that will exist long after any demolition, arson, or structural collapse.
How do you do it?
While I do occasionally shoot film, a majority of my work is shot digitally and processed with a very subtle use of HDR software. I shoot with the widest focal length my lens will allow in any particular space. My goal is to capture the feeling of awe, amazement, and sadness that I am overcome with when I see these spaces, and pass those feelings along to the viewer.
Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?
I use iprintfromhome because I believe that when you support small, independently-owned businesses, you are investing in your community, and nothing makes me happier than to invest in Buffalo. Additionally, the quality of iPrintfromHome's printing is perfect every time. I have never had a single problem and they're always quick and eager to help with any questions I may have.
