If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything. - Ruth Bernhard
I have always been more interested in a photograph that asks more questions than it answers. I’m more interested in telling why I make an image, rather than showing what something looks like. Conveying the emotion of the moment, rather than what I’m looking at. In other words, I want to show what I feel, rather than what I see. This is not an easy task, it requires study into the ever changing technology photography has become. One needs some degree of knowledge of where you are going, and yet be open to where the image wants to take you. It means that you have to trust those feelings, and follow them wherever they may lead. It is a trail laid out by reading and viewing all the history that came before me, the shoulders of those I hope to stand on.
I have had many cameras over the years, large, medium and small format. Conventional and unconventional, but I have never cared about the camera or the process, only the image. To me, any method or camera is valid as long as you can realize your intent.
