Transitions stemmed from some experimental photography that I was doing.  At first I was making underwater LED lights.  I was trying to re-create the look of a jellyfish. I was submerging balloons (with lights inside) into different solutions.  This gave me the idea for the series. The models for Transitions were friends and people from Craig’s List.  I find Craig’s list to be really great for just about anything.  It’s a gamble, but it’s nice working with ‘people’, untrained as models.  They become more pliable in the process.  I was able to direct them, and give them a sense of what I was feeling.  They in turn would give me the looks, and ideas of what I was trying to achieve.
