To be honest, I get no satisfaction from my finished images. The image itself means nothing to me; it is the process of obtaining the image that provides me with the satisfaction that keeps me looking for more- along the streets and in the pavement, in the chipped paint, in the mad colors and fleeting shapes, always looking. Each image is the result of hours of aimless searching and intense looking. Each image is a meditation, a respite from gnawing questions of doubt and uncertainty present in all other aspects of my life. I am not looking to change the world, I’ll leave that challenge to those of greater intelligence and grit. To me this is pure, selfish escapism, nothing more. My only hope in sharing these images is that the viewer get some of the same joy and relief that I received in finding them.
