  • Bio:

    I have had a deep interest in microscopic life for many years. With my mother as a Clinical Microbiologist and my wife as an Astrobiologist, I have been lucky enough to have access to more microscopes than most.

    Through these microscopes, I hunt for organisms in the various samples I have taken, and compose each shot cinematically. The tools of photography are used, aided by a special mount, and a DSLR capable of shooting 1080p hd video. In the studio, each image is color corrected by hand, keyed and composited to create a moving photo montage.

Title: Protozone Origin
Synopsis:

Protozone is a project that explores three specific sites on the Guadalupe River in California. The Origin of the Guadalupe River is located in a series of flood control reservoirs located in the suburbs of South San Jose.

Traveling from the macro to the micro one is first immersed in the realism of the site and its sonic pollution and then transported to an interpretive sonic landscape for the microorganisms that inhabit it.
