As a photographer, I am fascinated by the everevolving mosaic of colors and textures that are characteristic of urban environments like San Francisco. I am always looking for ways to capture these changes both large-scale and in detail.  Graffiti culture and vandalism often result in paint jobs to patch up unwanted blight. It’s a phenomenon that continuously alters our environment. These patches on buildings and surfaces vary in colors and textures, adding to an ever-changing mosaic. In my photographs, my goal is to depict the diverse colors, textures and (sometimes subtle) patterns that result.  Without getting into the politics of graffiti or street art, these photographs serve as a visual description of the process.
