Even In Alleys

The scenes in this series, found in areas of ordinary experience, catch my attention and I fall in love with them. Every step in the relationship, from the moment of capture through all the subsequent edits, brings me closer, like a casual chat on the street followed by long discussions over weeks and months. While everything you see is as it was in front of the camera, I work diligently with subtle adjustments to create an even balance between ordinary & majestic, organic & geometric, familiar & confounding, chaos & order, tangible & implied. Each image employs its own language and logic to tell a story, not about the organization or relationship of objects in reality, but about understanding, feeling, and the essential joy of looking. All the elements in the frame must be resolved and meaningful with nothing extra but all that is required. The structural ambiguity in the images slows down the process of viewing. I hope that as the initial disruption fades, rewarding exploration will continue and a relationship between the image and viewer develops. Thank you for taking the time to look.
