...the Rococo Paradox - "the suggestion of messiness and informality accomplished with meticulous technique"... borrowed from the description of a Rococo painting at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, CA.

For the most part the Photography I like speaks to this paradox... it is incidental stuff, understated and banal observations rendered in a pristine medium. For better and for worse Photography is the 'meticulous technique'.

"Art is the splendor of reality before everything has become meaning"... Frederick Sommer.
