“Bathroom Mishaps,” 2007, Hands
For the “Hands” project, we were allowed to take any photographs, providing the subject matter were some form of hands. So, while strolling around a Halloween store, I found this disembodied arm with blood spatter on it and thought to myself, “This would make for a perfect subject for [...]

“Old News,” 2007, View from an Inanimate Object
Following up the disembodied hand is an image with even more disembodied parts. “Old News” features a disembodied arm holding a folded newspaper with a woman’s disembodied head printed on it. Shot for the Inanimate Object project, I took this picture from the perspective [...]

“Escape,” 2007, View from an Inanimate Object
Stemming from the same assignment as the previous photograph, this image was shot from the perspective of a door. This door happens to be the door to the boiler room at a local elementary school in my home town. The location I was shooting in [...]

“Politik,” 2007, Newark Scavenger Hunt
Never in my life did I think I would ever run around downtown Newark taking photographs. The Newark Scavenger Hunt changed that completely. The image here is the reflection on the windows of a gallery of the street and buildings outside the gallery. It just so [...]

“Proportions,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
I enjoy weird photographs that play with your eye and mind. This image, shot from a park in Hoboken, New Jersey, is one of those photographs. The awkwardly similar proportions of the Lamp to the Empire State building to the telephone pole to the tree distort the viewers [...]

“Natural Bridge,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
At one point during the New Jersey vs. New York assignment, I visited the Palisades Cliffs by Englewood, NJ. Nearby, lies the George Washington Bridge, a gateway to the Upper West Side of New York City. This photo is of the G.W. Bridge while walking along the [...]

“Golden,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
Like the previous picture, this image was taken to juxtapose the wooded scenery of New Jersey to the iron-wrought entrance to the Big Apple. This image is slightly more straightforward than its predecessor, but I really love the overall compositi on, color balance, and integration of the bridge’s cables [...]

“Structure,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
Although this photograph was taken during my NY vs. NJ shoot, its purpose was not to juxtapose the two–in fact, I took this photo for myself, without regards for the assignment. This photo is an abstract view of the George Washington Bridge from underneath it. I was [...]

“The Birds,” 2007, Monumental
“The Birds” was taken quite by accident at the train station in Whitehouse, NJ. I commute to and from school via the NJ Transit train system daily. On one particular day, I missed my stop and ended up two stations down the line. The sky was a perfect blue, [...]

“Fishing,” 2007, Public Places Private Spaces
This image was my submission for the Star Ledger newspaper’s photo contest, “Public Places, Private Spaces.” The photograph was taken at Seaside Heights, New Jersey, at the waterfront. My goal was to capture the solemn privacy of a fisherman earning his living amidst the public, yet [...]

“The Watchers,” 2007
During my visit to the Jersey shore in November, I took this photo of a set of windows along a boating supplies building right next to the boardwalk. At first, I was attracted to how the telephone wires played with the slightly angled vertical and horizontal lines of the window frames. [...]

“Beacon,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
This image was taken at the waterfront of Exchange Place, in Jersey City, of Liberty State Park. The viewer is standing in what seems like a swampy, decrepit area, while the “church” is on a well kept island with the sky opening above it. The bridge leads into the [...]
