lenscraft Details
I photograph the remnants of what people leave behind. My eyes are drawn to small details, textures and smudges, a drip stain on a wall. I capture the beauty of these unintentional signatures, and I imagine lives of the people who left them.I usually seek out-of-the-way and abandoned places to photograph. I've shot miner's cabins in the Owens Valley, back alleys in Kyoto, abandoned schoolhouses in Kansas, and truck stops in the Brazilian rain forest. I prefer remote locations because they provide a glimpse of lives lived apart from the mainstream of humanity.I photograph in color because that's the way I see. I love black and white photography, but I feel that good color photography has more to offer the viewer. It is also much more challenging, providing the photographer with more dimensions with which to succeed (or fail).I process the image using a variety of techniques to achieve a print that accurately represents my vision of the original scene. I produce each print individually in my Sausalito studio, using museum-quality archival pigments on heavyweight paper.
