2012 Photography in Review

Overall, not a very productive year for me as photographer. On my extended trip to Israel in Febuary, I was unimpressed with the images I captured. Some nice travel landscape shots for personal memories, but nothing that spoke to me. Overall, only 24 images from 2012 posted to Flickr, most in the last 3 months.

With my new position, the drive to create visual art is back. The limitations of my current visual world seems to be part of the inspiration as I face the fact that I am a photographer of walls, parking lots and rocks.

I’m drawing much of my inspiration from the medium itself. Cameras and software provide a rich visual world that needs just to be fed with color, form, composition and gesture.

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.
