Work Statement
The pictures I am submitting are from a work in progress, Rescuing Putnam. The completed work will reflect approximately ten years of my experience as a paramedic in the rural south of North Central Florida.

In this project I have looked at the charged environment of emergencies and the quiet spaces between looking for a presence that is difficult to define but permeates this rarefied environment. I am also interested in showing the evolution of a community through its rapid growth and how it has affected emergency services and its personnel. This work is an attempt to honor something significant and essential despite the rapid pace of change.

Bio
I grew up in a small town in Indiana and attended Indiana University for a while. I studied Anthropology before leaving to live on the West Coast. Since then I have been employed at various jobs around the country and briefly overseas until I came to Florida in the late 90's. I am now 35 years old.
