These images make up my first ever gallery show, "Beauty and Darkness". They represent my best (or favourite) work between my return to the United States in late 2003 and late 2007, and my main themes of beauty, darkness, and contrast-- all both visual and conceptual. The show took place in January 2008, at the Middle East Restaurant in Central Square, Cambridge MA. The artist's reception and opening was on January 6th from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This folder includes the final selection of 18 images that were shown. They were selected to be suitable for a public venue, to represent the best of my work, to include a variety of models and styles, and also based on the quality of the actual prints.
