This work represents my own march backwards into the future.  It tells the story of an industry that was obliterated by the creative destruction of the digital age.  This industry not only shaped my work as an artist, but also touched millions of lives with its magical products, helping define what the twentieth century would look like and how it will be remembered. It is a photographic survey created in a post-photographic age: the result describes what photography once was – as a technology, an enterprise and an art form.  It is a record of a dizzying moment in photography’s history in which technological changes redefined the medium forever.  It is also an account of my own transition from industrial to information age; one that demanded I play the dual role of participant and observer.
