Everything that we were, everything that we are, and everything that we will become carries thoughts and memories. Beginning with our first breath and continuing to our last, our minds begin to wonder and collect information. From dreams to actual events that happen every day, memories flood our lives and shape our futures. Remember the time when you went to an amusement park and you saw the panda on the carousel look at you and smile? How about the day you watched Venice slowly wash away, or when you found out you were a dad for just one day? Our lives are built on memories and as time passes the memories begin to morph, change, and eventually fade away.

“Frozen” is a collection of memories seen through a viewfinder and recorded in a photograph. Some pieces are extremely vivid and colorful and others are contorted with the passing of time to convey the emotion behind, and the changes that happen to, memories in our minds. To conceptualize a memory, I created and used special filters to capture each moment as it happened instead of using post-processing to modify and change its meaning. Ironically, some pieces required hours or days of planning to capture and others were spur of the moment – just like memories.

Even though “Frozen” is a journey into one man's memories and thoughts, there are times, places and moments that we all share...Do you remember?
