I have been making these images for more years than I can remember. They reach back to my earliest days as a painter turned photographer, when my fascination seemed fixed on the process its self. These images were and remain to this day an attempt to describe the act of making a photograph, the process of finding and recording light that captures a moment worthy of recording, but not necessarily one that can be explained. Making a photograph is not the same to me as taking a picture. It is not a knee jerk reaction, nor is it an attempt at a narrative, it is instead a calculated cluster of activities designed to leave a record of the sensation of a moment. For this reason I often remind viewers that I don’t make pictures, I make photographs and that it is the light and not the world that interests me.
