My
research interests focus on photography, philosophy of image, and knowledge representation. My Ph.D. dissertation. Relationship Analysis of Image Descriptions: An Ontological, Content Analytic Approach, examines how humans express relationships when describing images. I am currently working on the
ontology of the photograph and ontology-based representation in
the Scone knowledge-base system. I perform this work with Dr. Scott E.
Fahlman, Carnegie Mellon University.
