These flat, often bisected texture and contrast studies have been a constant in my images since I picked up my Minolta SRT200 in 1979. I’ve always struggled with how easily I can make these. These days I look at an image like this and simply appreciate how the image recreates the pleasure I personally have being in a receptive state looking at the world around me. Its a re-creation, a re-experiencing of a place and time now distant.

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.
