Artist Statement:
Vernacular culture surrounds
us but is little noted. When
it is noted, it is not placed
on the same level as
�high� culture. Perhaps

their best work. The camera
made it possible to record the
vernacular in exquisite
detail. And the detail is the
message.
Many of the photos in this
portfolio are now available
through Gallery 1044, 1044
Larkin St., in San
