I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence. ↗

If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers. ↗

With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing. ↗

How can we hold onto those fleeting moments in our lives? Hold onto the moments that otherwise evaporate into the forgotten past? Or moments that become faded and morphed into our own version of reality as they sit in the corners of our memories, losing their truth and shifting focus? The only way to hold onto these moments and share them for years to come, in all their beauty and truth and glorious imperfections, without losing accuracy is through a photograph. ↗

Then I thought I was going to be a photographer. I tried a hand at darkroom technician. I played in a band. It took me quite some time to discover that I wanted to write. ↗

Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back. ↗

It's the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage. ↗
