Video postcards exploring place, both natural and architectural. These six pieces have had numerous screenings and won awards including Best Documentary at Artsfest (PA), the Accolade Award of Merit: Experimental, and Third Prizes at Black Maria (NJ) and Twin Rivers Media Festivals (NC). Internationally, several were presented as installations in the Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Canada, and the good old USA.
Light in Spain, the Odessa Steps in the Ukraine, tiles of the Hot Springs National Park, an old growth forest at the Porcupine Mountains State Park, and glimpses of my back yard.

Forced Perspective: Odessa

My visit to the real steps at Odessa was affected by the Odessa Steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin (Eisenstein, 1925). Media images have power. They shape our real life experiences.
