Photography isn’t an act of archiving memory or representing “the world” as such. It’s a form of illustrating a feeling or concept or mood or essence.

 

What I view through the l e n s isn’t a product but a potential for something beyond what I experience in the world—a new way of seeing in which the image becomes its own experience.

 

The parameters of projects liberate me from the overwhelming ...“everything” that snap—shots are made of. My love for deta i l zooms in on / angles \ that recontextual my everyday.

Although I cannot claim that there is even one drop of 'chemistry' -that certain critical something present in romantic love- between this woman and I, nor have I ever daydreamed that there should be... there are just so many astonishing & profoundly moving qualities that are hers and found in no other - that I can't help but to occasionally float the exasperated thought- why could she not be queer? I dare to say this because - while it is no small thing to go out on a limb like this with a dear, dear friend - she simply knows me well enough to know that the only thing I would ever seek to change about her is anything that would bring her pain. Consider yourself lucky to be able to share her photography here, and should you get the chance to meet her? Prepare yourself for a reminder of the true potential of this human race, for you will be introduced to such deep intelligence coupled with the far-reaching, deeply layered education that such a mind deserves, a scandalous wit that saves such brilliance from being insufferable - all conjoined with her tender caring - you'll be reminded why our deeply flawed world and our fleeting mortal time here is a gift beyond measure: such people as she. Now! I can only hope that having expressed myself without a hint of fucking restraint -or so much as bending a knee toward humility- that she will do me a huge gift by approving this testimony... will you, love?
