“One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are.”
– Minor White.
I do not consciously search for specific things, for a search forecloses possibilities that are presenting. For me, photography is an openess to the flow of the World. I let the World lead me where it will in a daoist spirit. I roam and wait. It is as if the shutter releases itself when it is time, when things are stilled in the mind, when things perdure between heart beats.
For me, each photograph is its own moment, sufficient to itself. I prefer my photographs not to be propped up by others.
I mostly use film and print in my own darkroom on silver-gelatin paper or using alternative process techniques.
Thank you for visiting.
