Artist’s Statement:
When people hear that I am a photographer, the most common question I hear is: “Oh, you take pictures?” To that question, my answer must be: “No, I don’t take pictures.”
I don’t "take" anything …………… I "make" photographs. To be more precise, I record my reactions to the scene before me at a particular moment in time. Then, after my film has been developed and scanned, I further modify the representation of my reactions in my digital darkroom. Every image I create is an amalgam of my vision and my feelings, applied repeatedly over a period of time in a variety of circumstances. My images are not intended to document or represent that which can be seen by one’s naked eye … the finished images are my personal expression. To know my work is to know me.
I just make them, I don’t explain them …
