Artist Statement:
Always having a little camera in my pocket makes it so much easier and more spontaneous now to combine my love of travel and of the exotic with my love of making images. There is no need for a heavy camera bag, an assortment of lenses along with all the other paraphernalia that photographers are very attached to. The work in this show is part of a collection of images made over the past two years in various locales.
When I create an image I attempt to project the pleasure and fascination that a certain structure, landscape, or sense of place gives to me … especially something whose original function has changed in some way and yet the remains are purposeful and wonderful on many levels. Sharing this moment with a viewer, which can give pause and transmit this delight, is what motivates me.
Making images for me is a way of life. I cannot imagine not doing it. It’s what feeds my soul.
All of the images in this show have been taken and edited with my iPhone and then transferred to my computer for final editing and printing. Each image has been printed on a fine art digital printer using archival pigment inks and paper. Each image is part of an edition of ten.
“Images are stepping stones that trace where the mind has been and reflect the unique vision that each of us carries through life.” (author unknown)
