Come along with me. This journey might be helped with a few deep breaths. These images and my words are for sure all about me, but I hope we share in some of the same concerns. I’m a bit shaken up by this aging process, that tick tock non-stop train that my new born granddaughter’s perfect innocence does not yet know. You might be as well, whatever age you are. At this age, we tend to add up the dreams lived, and wonder about the ones abandoned, and I at least, about the ones I don’t know that are the alloy of generations of half lived dreams.
And you picked up a photography book. You are a viewer, and I’m interested in where you are in the work I do. I know you are there, and I wanted to find you in what I create and write about. A while back, and it had been building for a long time, I gave up the idea that photographs are about anything real, whatever that is. There are no frames around anything, and time does not stop. My photographs and words try to talk about that.
And in the end, I wanted to think together about finding peace in the everyday. For me, that is about the hard to do practice of feeling that everything is perfectly intertwined at this moment, and that the work is putting every other thought aside.
