These prints have been selected and sorted from the thousands and thousands of digital snapshots I have taken over the last nine years since I purchased my first digital camera. I am presenting these sets of 100 photographs in small editions of five archival print boxes. By removing certain photos out of the endless stream of photos taken and putting them together into boxed collections new relationships are forged between images which would otherwise be unrelated to one another.
The winning bidder has the right to purchase a larger version of any one of the images, details are inside the box.
