In this project I am working with a cell phone camera to create 3 x 3 GRID images of a model nude in the studio. I began to make grid imagesin 1967 while beginning my MFA in Photography Thesis at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

I have been photographing the nude for over 50 years, exploring different cameras, processes and techniques.

In these images I am taking one cell phone camera image and fragmenting that image into 9 parts and reorganizing those parts in one 3x3 Grid image.

After completing an MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I taught Photography on the college level for forty years. Currently I teach photography full time at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY where I head the photography program. I have been active in creating and exhibiting my personal photographic imagery also for forty years. I won a NYSCA CAPS Fellowship in Photography in 1982 and I published a small monograph of nude images of my wife, Wendy, Body Light: Passages from a Relationship in 1989
