Artist Statement:
A photograph is all about
a moment, that sixtieth of a
second in time when the
shutter clicks. The instant.
Photographs are not a direct
reflection of the world; but
rather, an interpretation by
the individual who took them.
Photographers show us what
they want us to see. They
control what we believe about
thing. They take a moment in
time and trap it into a frame
where it becomes locked to
forever be controlled by
outside interpretation.
Anyone can become beautiful in
a photograph, and the most
beautiful can be turned into
visions of horror. I enjoy
this “rediscovery” most about
my work. The image is not
about the person in the
photograph but commentary
straight from the
photographer.
I often hear photography
described as “painting with
light,” and I think that is an
accurate description of the
art form, but I am not a
painter. I am a photographer
striving constantly to
reinvent the world around me
so that everyone can
understand how I see.
Photography rarely tells us
the truth, but sometimes we
are lucky enough to catch that
one moment that tells us more
about ourselves than we’ve
realized. ...
