If you don't have any pictures on your photostream or if they are just lewd pictures, I will block you.

 

I’m interested in our changing relationships with the urban and suburban environment and the ways in which we adapt and find meaning.

 

I share my vision of the commonplace by making photographs of landscapes, objects and portraits - intuitively looking for visual interest, irony, and inherent beauty.

 

Everything is a picture

to the employing eye

that feeds restlessly to

find peace

- William Carlos Williams

 

Silence is, after all, the context for the deepest appreciation of art: the only important evaluations are finally, personal, interior ones.

- Robert Adams, "Beauty in Photography" 1996

 

Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn't attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don't see.

- Emmet Gowin

 

...To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters...

- Harry Callahan

 

Neurotic, self-absorbed artist.
