The Baby
The Baby project echoes tropes from landscape, architectural, narrative, still life, and contemporary color photography, drawing inspiration from masters like Robert Adams, Stephen Shore, Julius Shulman, Ansel Adams, and William Wegman. At the heart of these evocative, deadpan images—often set in seedy or rundown locales like Las Vegas, and the Salton Sea—is "The Baby," a handmade sock monkey toy that disrupts the scene's sobriety. This incongruous, moth-eaten creature serves as a playful foil, critiquing and paying homage to photographic traditions by injecting banality into abiding beauty. Whether posing amid desert reds, on rumpled beds, or in encounters like one with retired porn star Jenna Jameson, The Baby narrates an edgy world with resilient, upbeat charm, transforming sober compositions into a witty, neo-conceptual exploration.
