"In all of my art, I am looking for the
unexpected. I want images that surprise
and delight, that are not what they seem,
or seem to be what they are not.

My photographic essays tell stories by
juxtaposing images and fragments of
images from a place or event for a visual
effect that works from a distance but
yields more detail – sometimes
surprising – as you approach and look
closer. The stories almost always have a
beginning and usually an end, but I leave
the path through the story up to the
viewer.

My puzzles have appeared in the New
York Times, the Los Angeles Times,
GAMES magazine, The Chronicle of
Higher Education, and in newspapers,
books, and puzzle collections around the
world. My hobbies include ambigrams
and gourmet cooking. I was born in
Brooklyn, and raised there and in
Taiwan, Japan, and Kansas. I studied
Spanish and Russian, Shakespeare and
Mathematics, Computer Science and
Cognitive Science.

A unifying theme in my career and all of
my avocations is understanding people
and their perceptions. I spend most of
my time architecting and developing
computer software, where I am an expert
at designing and building highly usable
software and technology-based systems.

Artistic influences include: Ansel Adams,
Alexander Calder, Piet Mondrian, Frank
Lloyd Wright, and Bill Waterston, among
others.

I am currently working toward a book of
photographic essays as well as a
photographic book on election politics.
