I am motivated by the non-linear narrative possibilities of the photobook and I remain deeply inspired by the photograph as a signifier of history, physical object and metaphor. I push photographs to live in disconnected isolation or be the means of connection to other ideas and physical manifestations. Historical and cultural markers, combined with the structures of narrative fiction, instigate my practice. My reoccurring process is an autobiographical approach to personal space distilled by cultural history.<\/p>\n<p>My photobooks are in the collections of The International Center of Photography Library, The New York Public Library, Ronald Feldman Gallery, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, The Sloane Art Library at the University of North Carolina, and the Hellenic Centre for Photography in Athens, Greece. My photobooks are currently sold in Tokyo, Brussels, Paris, Mexico City and New York City. I am an assistant professor of photography at Parsons School of Design.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 20%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-9967 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/meet-the-parsons-first-year-leadership-2\/stearns_01-colin-stearns\/'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_01-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_01-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg 800w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_01-Colin-Stearns-16x16.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/meet-the-parsons-first-year-leadership-2\/stearns_02-colin-stearns\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"654\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_02-Colin-Stearns-800x654.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/meet-the-parsons-first-year-leadership-2\/stearns_04-colin-stearns\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_04-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_04-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg 800w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_04-Colin-Stearns-16x16.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/meet-the-parsons-first-year-leadership-2\/stearns_03-colin-stearns\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_03-Colin-Stearns-800x644.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/meet-the-parsons-first-year-leadership-2\/stearns_05-colin-stearns\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_05-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_05-Colin-Stearns-800x730.jpg 800w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/stearns_05-Colin-Stearns-16x16.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>What are the most exciting and\/or rewarding parts of teaching First Year?
