Harold

I'm an artist, media producer and communicator based in Toronto, Canada. Camera clicks and computer code comprise my creative drive. To me, photography is more of a living process than a captured moment. I explore linear patterns through panoramic stitching and build more complex, algorithmic constructions using Photoshop and Javascript.
