Eileen McNamee

I am a photographer, a teacher and a scientist. I've lived in the Bronx in New York City for most of my life. I have been actively exploring photography for the last 8 years. I am mostly self taught, although I've taken a few photography courses and I'm a voracious reader. I seek the contrasts in life, the sign of nature in the city, the sign of man within the country,and the sights so small that most don't see. I use my photographs to capture those moments of life. I am interested in how humans intertwine with the world at large.
I use a digital camera to capture this world, and I occasionally use my imagination to mold the photos to display an idea. These can be seen in the photographic mosaics that I've made. And, sometimes, I just capture the moment because it is a snippet of life that I would like to hold on to.
