In my series Disassembly, I photographed old items that are no longer used by the masses and often found on the street curbs heading for disposal. All of the pieces I photographed were in working order. I found it very interesting that they were all so well built and put together with screws, not glue. These pieces were all most likely put together by hand. I envisioned all the enjoyment these pieces had given many people for many years, all to be replaced by new technology that will itself be rapidly replaced with half the use. This print can be paired with Old Phone, below.
It started from a kindergarten finger painting class and grew from there. Todd was born amongst the golden wheat fields of Saskatchewan. Raised by a carpenter and electronic technician, he became fond of the hands-on approach. He harvested his passion in Alberta, and in 2002 he moved to Toronto, Canada. Like many great image makers, he has a passion for creating visuals extending beyond one discipline. Todd enjoys being creative, both in studio as well as in the great outdoors.
