I hunt & gather light; I farm pictures.
For me photography is a process, and light is the medium. What I like about it is this grounding in reality – of an object, that light is interacting with. It’s a dance – it’s musical !
I use cameras, emulsions, papers, time & other alchemy – the tools of lightdwriting – to make pictures of place, primarily my homeplace of Corvallis, Ore but when I am fortunate enough to go somewhere else, I take advantage of new light, colors, textures & other remnants of people that make place.
