The Work
| about the work |
| Entering a new culture is thrilling. I am filled with a visual excitement absent of words. I am inspired by the urban light and the nooks and crannies it illuminates, but especially in immigrant and working class communities where beauty is found in displaced spirits and peeling paint. I work in color because it best expresses culture. I use a Leica rangefinder because it requires proximity, immediacy and engagement. “Forgotten Places” is the title of my new series, my road to the interior of the cities I love. My photographs describe brief moments of human existence. Carried by the rhythm of a setting, they convey what is at once simple and vast, passing and constant, ordinary and intangible. |
