On Permanence
Tattoos are permanent signs on extremely perishable and on short notice surfaces, our bodies.  On Permanence starts from the desire to narrate this contradiction through the bodies and faces of the people who decided to embody their  
thinking, to modify their meat to express  the inner side.
Out of the "cheap" stereotype of the "beach tattoos" and "fashion tattoos" and beyond the colorful images from the trade magazines, I chose to portrait people who made tattoo a way of life and a personal research. A way to personify that fight against nature and against the little time we have.

This project is inspired by the amazing work Imogen Cunningham made with Irene "Bobbie" Libarry during the last years of their lives.

I started photography about 8 yrs ago with a 35mm Canon camera and a few lenses, eventually moving up to medium format and shooting 6x6 for a few years. I started working with large format cameras in 2004 and then began working in alternative printing process - Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown, etc. Eventually I moved up to an 8x10 and began making platinum/palladium contact prints.

I was bitten by the Ultra Large Format bug and began shooting with an old 7x17 banquet camera, and most recently my current 12x20 Folmer & Schwing banquet camera. 

These images are a collection of 8x10 and 12x20 platinum/palladium contact prints and some cyanotype over platinum/palladium contact prints from in and around Austin,
Texas, USA, my home.

I've come to realize that beauty can be found in the most unlikely of places.
