Finding My Way

I do not want to be known through a handful of images, carefully cropped. I am so much more than any one project, any one period of time or series of subjects that happened to photograph well. I don’t have a “signature style.” What I do have is my very own temperament. The way that I respond and relate within my place in the world. My creative work is about what I edit and what I allow to remain unresolved. Things shift, and contradict one another, and sometimes refuse to settle. It’s all evidence of attention.

Spacing

The secret isn’t better subjects. It’s better relationships.

Rough next to polished. Wood next to metal. The satisfying imbalance that keeps us leaning in. Close enough to love each other. Far enough apart to breathe.

Project in Process

I’m beginning work on a new project. Conversation Pieces. It will be about how to make objects/scenes/photographic subjects talk to each other. It’s about space, at least that is one part of the conversation. When to let the pictures have space to breathe and when to lean in. There will be words and pictures, and this is just the beginning. I love this part; in the beginning my mind swirls with ideas and they all seem possible.
