In 1905, Simmel wrote: "the psychological basis of the metropolitan type of individuality consists in the intensification of nervous stimulation which results from the swift and uninterrupted change of outer and inner stimuli . . . Thus the metropolitan type of man . . . develops an organ protecting him against the threatening currents and discrepancies of his external environment which would uproot him" (Simmel 1905:48).

An individual in the city is subject to sensory inputs at levels which threaten "overload" and system collapse. Consequently, adaptive mechanisms are developed to divert or filter information, mechanisms which amount to metropolitan man's "protective organ," and which estrange him from others.

Is this the persona that i am talking about, the defensive system that seems to develop from having to deal with so much in so little time, the overload of information that drives us and develops us into the social characters. Definitive to others because they are over-processed and flawed through the lack of development. Through this simplification of definition there develops, what may be the strongest absence of individuality.

URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Urbanity is a life style that is adapted to the characteristics of a certain environmental belonging.

There are so many reasons why the urban environment is my focus of study within my photography. The underlining experimentation is through the lived life within this culture. The overwhelming masses and the learned behavioral characteristics that define life.

"There is no justifiable treatment of a life towards a foundation of being, without the experimentation of living"

Welcome and thank you for visiting, this blog was created because I am looking for a way to expose my photographs and client work to the public and develop a portfolio site. This is a stepping off point for me where my photographs will be released to public viewing and i am hoping for some comments. The Most recent publication of my work was in Photographers Forum "best photography of 2008". Sense then I have been working on my MFA degree at the University of Idaho and had many local exhibitions but feel that the audience is still limited.
