Hi it's Pete.

I make a living taking pictures, and have been doing so the past 6 or 8 years in New York City. I studied studio art at UCLA, and received my MFA from Yale University. My cat Snake and I live/work in Bed-Stuy, and my hobby is learning statistical computing.

Ongoing:

• mozzarella.website - an independent publishing venture.

Recently:

What if...I was on a plane sometime in February 2017, preparing to land in Bismarck, North Dakota?

• mozz participated in Book Locker organized by N. Weltyk and Gerardo Madera. It was on February 18th and 19th, at Cooler Gallery "by the Navy Yard"

• A "conceptual portrait" or "photo illustration" of artist Brad Troemel appeared in the New Yorker, last week of January 2017 issue.

• I spent the week of Nov 21st-27th 2016 lending my support to the Water Protectors at the Oceti Sakowin Camp - Standing Rock, North Dakota. I wish I could've stayed longer; hope to be able to return February 2017.

• Much of my time was spent pulling and sorting recycleables (cardboard, plastic bottles) from my local dumpster; it was cool to find out later that both of these things would be used for winterization. Just as beautiful were the bonds formed and conversations had with neighbors while doing this work. The sum of my time there is far more than can be described here.

• mozzarella.website participated in the Detroit Art Book Fair, hosted by DittoDitto. October 8th & 9th, 2016, at Trinosophes/Eastern Market. Another Tab of Chrome (a publication loosely themed around Language, Lysergic Acid, and William Gibson) was produced for this occasion, and features the work of artists I'm a fan of and interested in. More details, soon.
