About Clay Mills

Originally I began photography to keep a record of my friends and my own life. The past couple of years however, my photos have taken an oblique turn. Lately I've been interested in doors, portals and passageways. I've been calling this project "Passages" to myself.

These photos are precious and funny and evil to me, they’re doorways to a memory of a life I did not myself live. My hope is that they're adequate to what Baudelaire tasked us with: to capture, “the fugitive, fleeting beauty of present-day life… often weird, violent, and excessive."
