here i am

winter has come. fall fought long and hard, but tuesday he was defeated. i breathe deep, letting the crisp air season my lungs. as my car warms up, i run back into the house. months i wait, now the day has finally come to wear my favorite
red scarf.

as i sit at my computer, lights low, and manhattan's own 12th street squeeze playing through the speakers, something at the window catches my attention. "not already," i think to myself. i walk over to the balcony. to my suprise, winter had decided to make and even grander entrance. she didn't build up to a climax near christmas time but stepped out from behind the curtain with all the confidence and brillance of the first snow. of course her display was temporary, the ground not quite prepared for her extended stay, and she quickly disappeared back into the wind. but no one could miss her white announcement.

ever wonder what is the face of london, new york, paris?
the face of tomorrow is a concept for a series of photographs that addresses the effects of globalization on identity. the large metropolises of the world are magnets for migrants from all parts of the planet resulting in new mixtures of peoples. what might a typical inhabitant of this new metropolis look like in one or two hundred years if they were to become more integrated? the resulting population is fairly uniform suggesting that if you could combine all the faces in a city right now you would be looking at the future face of that city.
the face of tomorrow attempts to find this face by taking photographs of the current inhabitants and compositing their faces to create a typical face. what we get is a new person - a mix of all the people in that city... a face that doesn't exist right now, but a face, it seems, of someone quite real. check it out!
