	American men once had their portraits taken together much more frequently then they do now. As significant as this decline in ritual representation of male relationships may be, equally important (or more so) is the recognition that those photographs captured a world of feeling between men that eventually would largely disappear from view. Today Freuds shadow still looms large: In a world in which sexual relationships receive so much attention, we often forget the significance (or even deny the possibility) of intimate association wholly without a sexual componant.

My work involves the camaraderie of men within the context of 21st Century American culture. I reference popular historical images; cabinet cards, photo post cards, snap shots and Poloroids as well as other photographic examples and use their componants in creating my work. The aim is to investigate why American culture shies away from creating imagery of men together within the context of friendship and camaraderie. My desire is to document and create as many possible situations of men together thereby providing a platform for discussion of the current male conditon.
