A search for new habitats and habits.

 

Getting in the habit

I enjoy photographing how old and new technologies co-exist, how different cultures live amongst these assemblages, and how people manage local landscapes with global technologies and symbols.

In my writing, I want to note the different ways by which humans are responding to environmental issues.

Hopefully this would stir the imagination, exercise our thoughts, suggest experiences, and multiply possibilities.

Searching for and observing how people are addressing modern forms of oppression and injustice in their own environments could inspire new habits for new habitats and proliferate experimentation.
