These are shots taken mostly for their beauty and fun, rather then with a larger theme in mind.

Why is it that I wake up happy from terrifying nightmares, that I'd rather be torn apart by a werewolf then win the lottery? I don't know for sure. But when you think about it, it doesn't make sense that anybody likes horror. Blood and gore, ghosts and darkness, seems like the kind of things we wouldn't even want to think about, would never want to think exist.

Then again maybe that is exactly why we like horror. Everyone wants to escape reality, to believe there is something more then the boring world. But horror, the idea that there is something under our beds, something behind the darkness...Maybe it's precisly because we think we don't want it to be real that we feel free to beleive it.

After all, isn't something as scary as running for your life from a maniac still more apealing then knowing there's nothing more then our boring 9-5 job, paychecks and gas prices?

Frankly, I've always wanted to bring something scary to life.

Skiptrace is our name for light graffiti. A type of painting that exists only in the camera, leaves only a memory behind on a canvas of empty space.

Everything is done with long exposure shots and various pioneering light techniques. No photoshop is used, with the exception of brightness control for better printing.
