Ellis, spent much of his early life as a hard drinking bass player for local
New Jersey/NYC rock bands during the late 70's and early 80's.
Concurrently he spent his time photographing what he called the 'beauty
of decay': The crumbling infrustructure of the urban and sometimes rural
environments he found himself. In his recent move to photographing the human form,

the past 25 years.
