A lot of photographers walk around looking for something 'out there,' but I'm very much interested in what's 'in here.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm interested in aesthetics, in the way things look, in finding something in an image that maybe people haven't seen.
Increasingly, the work I'm doing is in service to an idea rather than just to see what something looks like photographed. I'm trying to explore how I feel about something through photography.
I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.
Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.
I am interested in being in pictures that I would like to see.
My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That's why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I'm searching for, or searching to express.
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
How the visual world appears is important to me. I'm always aware of the light. I'm always aware of what I would call the 'deep composition.' Photography in the field is a process of creation, of thought and technique. But ultimately, it's an act of imaginatively seeing from within yourself.
I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.
I'm really interested in photography, like every other human being.
