The subjects of this series of photos, tiny and abandoned objects, are both organic and man made. I coax beauty from the ignored, unseen and discarded detritus of our industrial urban culture.

Rusted nuts and bolts, mysterious metal fragments, railroad spikes and shards of glass are combined with flowers, berries, mushrooms, moss and weeds to create minute compositions or sculptures (most often fitting in the palm of my hand).

The juxtaposition of these varied objects creates an exciting and unusual visual synergy when greatly enlarged — infusing new life into what would otherwise be overlooked.
