West Bottoms

The exercise I employ most in my work is photographing buildings, walls, telephone poles that aren’t pretty, aren’t ugly (to my mind, anyway)—just banal. Meaningless scenes that posses no intrinsic beauty or quality, represent no particular issue or subject. Visual Rorschach Tests. Koans. The more I can strip away the distracting noise my verbal, left hemisphere creates the better my visual, right hemisphere can operate.
