Artist Statement:
Although I have lived in
suburbs, small towns, and have
rural connections, the city is
where my heart lies. Wherever
I photograph, I see things
from the perspective of an
urbanite. I find it
interesting how even in the
country I seek out things
industrial and man-made.
The urban experience to me is
largely about motion. The
intense pace and vitality of
the city excites me; I like to
shoot fast and furiously, to
be totally immersed and to be
swept up in, and along with,
the tide of the moment.
Either I am shooting people
that are in motion or I myself
am in movement around my
subject. I will stalk my
subjects, be they a swarm of
gesturing humans or abstract
shapes of color and light.
The long overlapping images
are created by only partially
advancing the film between
exposures – the overlapping
occurs in the film itself. It
delights me how these mostly
unplanned juxtapositions
capture my experience of a
particular time and place and
at the same time have an
identity all their own.
