PHOTOGRAPHER'S STATEMENT

 

My reverence for the still frame is probably all the more heightened because I've spent the last couple decades working in moving pictures. 

 

 

THE RULES

​

All images must be stumbled upon.  That is, I can't go looking for a image, or have an idea in mind. 

 

(This means I drive or walk many miles but take few photographs.  One summer I drove 8,760 miles, back and forth across our country, but took only 8 photographs.)

​

The image must work at the time of capture.  No post production allowed.

​

The image must hover between form and content, between being about something and being about itself.  Ideally there is a dynamic in play.

 

 

THE CHALLENGE

​

What is the least amount of information possible that defines the point where content begins?  Or, What is Empty, What is Full.
