Global Beauty

About

Focused on capturing the minute and magical details of everyday life, Tim has artistically documented urban life in Philadelphia, massive rave gatherings in Washington D.C., the beauty of Dominican Republic beaches, the colorful culture of the Philippines, Costa Rica, Panama, Africa and has now returned to the City of Brotherly Love.

"Documenting an Event (no matter how trivial) helps to mark it’s fleeting existence in time and human memory.

Even the smallest Event, with a supposedly minute significance to outside observers, is, by definition, the Here And Now for it’s immediate participants. This gives this Event a meaning and significance far surpassing any prior Event, therefore deeming it worthy of Documentation.

A Documentation of this sort allows one to acknowledge this meaning and significance, to recognize its place as a Moment in Time for it’s participants and preserve its existence in the collective memory of society."

“Whether it’s on the other side of the planet or in our own kitchen, I guess we’re always in Discovery mode- of what’s inside and outside of ourselves- through the the uses of letters, words and sentences as well as shapes, lines and color. Hopefully, my photography can be a vehicle for sharing some of that discovery to my audience, as well as a catharctic activity for myself…even if not all of the pictures rank up in the category of Fine Art.
