On Further Reflection is an exploration of chance, perception, and the unexpected juxtapositions that reveal themselves in window reflections. As I wander Bay Area streets, my eye is drawn to the way reflections interact with what’s behind the glass. The results are often surreal, dreamlike, and playful, inviting viewers to free associate and create their own connections between disparate elements.
For me, this process is akin to painting with a camera. The unexpected combination of colors, surfaces, and subjects create compositions that echo the work of painters I admire—Stuart Davis, James Rosenquist, and the Cubists. Like them, I embrace fragmentation and overlapping perspectives to transform ordinary urban scenes into vibrant, disorienting collage-like images.
At a time when photographic image-making is increasingly dominated by AI and digital manipulation, I remain committed to capturing these moments as I find them. Nothing in this series is altered or composited—these images exist exactly as they appeared to me, discovered through observation rather than invention. In this way, On Further Reflection is not just about reflections in glass, but also about reflecting on how we see, how we interpret, and how everyday reality, when viewed from the right angle, can become something wonderfully otherworldly.
