My photography reflects a passion for social justice and activism. My images capture urban settings and the cultural and artistic tensions which evolve in these rapidly changing environments.  My work ranges from images of street taggers and muralist, to portraits of street people and the structural and architectural evolution which symbolizes gentrification and the uprooting of disenfranchised communities.
