A photograph is a symbol for a particle of time. It is an instant within an existence, a stolen second along a continuum that was never meant to be disrupted. It is silence within sound, equilibrium within vertigo, form without function. It is ultimately a fossil, and sometimes a fraud, because it portrays a scene that no longer exists.

In spite of that reality, some photographs impart bits of truth or stunning beauty that remain fresh and valid no matter how many times one views them. These are the images I seek, admire and try to produce.
