New Project



Having Risen, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

Photography has not been front and center over the past 6 months. It was a cold, snowy and wet fall and winter. When traveling, I’ve been seeing cities, not photographing them.

In casting around for a new project, I think that using the Leica with Velvia in urban and suburban settings would provide some interesting perceptual lessons, bringing its psychedelic color rendering to scenes where color is really more subdued.

Its an easy but expensive workflow depending on whether I pay the local lab to scan or not. But its so clearly non-digital to my eyes; its photographic in an old school sense.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
