This blog will complement my photographic work on the Chinatowns of the United States & Canada, starting with the first solo exhibition of the project at Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. The imagery stands on its own but my travels through over 50 Chinatowns in the last fifteen+ years and the stories of those whom I have met as well as the many organizations involved with this history and continuing present deserve attention. I am eager to share my journey.

First

It is approximately one month before the opening of the first solo exhibition of my longterm project, FINDING CHINATOWN, an over decade-long study photographing in and inspired by the Chinatowns of the United States & Canada (with a few European Chinatowns thrown in).

My photographic eye is strongly influenced by a lifelong passion for modern and contemporary art and I focus on the detail and often difficult beauty of the everyday. With respect to FINDING CHINATOWN, my narrative hopes to highlight a chapter of the American story, showcasing the almost two century immigration and contribution of those of Chinese descent to the fabric of this continent.

This blog is intended to complement the work in the forthcoming exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery in greater Los Angeles (Bergamot Station in Santa Monica) while looking forward to additional exhibition, perhaps with national and international traveling shows of the work and several publications.
