STATEMENT
Now and then, my inner dialogue quiets, distractions fall away, and the landscape before me shifts, filled with depth, clarity, and color. This can happen in the strangest of places and times, and - when it does - I chuckle, amused and exhilarated. I had been completely missing what was in front of me.
Photography, for me, accelerates this process. By taking pictures, I force myself to seek what is present and beautiful.
This usually isn't very hard to find.
This exhibit (my first) collects photographs shot since 2006. Some subjects are inherently spectacular - massive music festivals and cutting-edge science laboratories. Most, however, are plain and everyday - fast food, car hoods, and apartment buildings.
In all of these, I observe, hoping that you enjoy the resulting pictures and that they might possibly be a touchstone for sharing moments - mine, yours, the subject's, or those of the person next to you.
My task has been to find some of moments. I encourage you, in your own way, to do the same. |
