These photographs represent the straightforward facts on one hand, and on the other, an enigma. These images can inspire the flip side of the shock of recognition. They can encourage the shock of the unrecognizable. In other areas they can suggest a contextual mystery. But I shoot and present the real world, unposed. Although digitally produced, the images are often never, sometimes only minimally, manipulated.

I work spontaneously, on an unconscious, involuntary level, without planning or purpose.  My intention is to respond instinctively, leaving the intellect behind so I can react viscerally to capture whatever compelling rectangle catches my eye.

Over a number of years, bodies of work have surfaced gradually, as the accumulation of the best of what pleases me builds into solid collections. The work assembles itself at its own pace, and won’t be rushed, but the inspiration from one long-standing series can spark an approach to something else entirely. Nothing is promised but the pursuit of an honest response.
