My web based work began in 1995 with a web site called The Cemetery, which was based on my photographs of historically African American communities in southern New Jersey. The Cemetery project was eventually incorporated into the Small Towns, Black Lives web site.
Current Portfolios:
- Schools for the Colored Buildings and sites where segregated schools were located throughout the southern portion of the northern states.
- Village of Peace: An African American Community in Israel A community of African Americans that have settled in the southern Israeli town of Dimona for nearly 40 years. The group, know as the African Hebrew Israelites moved to Israel from the Chicago area near the end of the 1960's.
- Small Towns, Black Lives A thirteen year project documenting the small, historically African American, towns and settlements of the southern counties of New Jersey. The images are photographic and text based narratives of the contemporary lives and the historical traditions of the community. The web site offers meta-documentary evidence of my experiences and the archival materials used for creating narratives.
