Live from The Lower Draw in Manhattan, Brian and John sat down for an in person live podcast recording.
For Brian photography is an escape, a way to explore the world, studying every detail of the simple things. It gives him an opportunity to find beauty in unexpected places and in all walks of life. It forces him to challenge and push the bounds of his comfort zone, enabling him to grow as a person and as an artist. Over the years he has explored a wide range of photographic narratives while remaining loyal to his black and white roots
Brian has had a number of notable accomplishments which include a few international contests, features in publications, art shows, galleries, and large commissioned projects. These accomplishments only help fuel the fire that keeps him going. His life has revolved around photography since his early teens. Brian remembers developing his first black and white photo in his high school darkroom – the ominous red glow of the light, the stink of chemicals, the trickling water in the background, and the anticipation as, moment by moment, his picture materialized. From then on Brian was hooked. During high school and college, Brian had the luxury of fully equipped dark rooms, but his circumstances changed after college. He strayed away from photography for a few years. Then one day, Brian found himself behind the lens of a decent camera again, and it was like being reunited with an old friend. Once again Brian was hooked and hooked he remained. This is Brian's life. Capturing moments in time. In those moments, Brian feels complete.
