ENTROPY: A Paperless Photography Exhibit on the Subject of Ordinary Life.

I've been taking photographs of ordinary life for nearly 10 years now. The phone camera has significantly changed the accessibility and consistency of practicing photography as a daily regiment and discipline. My themes are always ranging in the realm of strange decay, death, and life, with all its illustrious forms of entropy, structural patterns, chaos, and relative beauty. The images and experiences are fleeting and naturally occurring in their own private spaces as I come across them, and this exhibit is telling a story about ordinary life that reflects the ignored existence of mundane objects, neglected realities, feelings of dread and despair, passing emotions that have been invoked in myself, significant enough that I wish to pass on these visual experiences as a shared collective towards those similar thoughts and feelings. Ordinary life is subjective and voyeuristic in nature, see or be seen, and so ENTROPY is a personal reflection and statement on the status of our objective environment and the ecosystem in which we live on a daily basis. These images are a filter of the realities I face, and can hopefully linger in the retinal mind of those who see them as well, even if they stray from the experiences of the real from which they were taken. Enjoy.
