When visiting Ohio in the Summer of 2008, My friend Mike Owen shared his sketch books with me. After a look, I knew we should collaborate. He loved the idea and I photographed his drawings. I focused on architecture, furniture and a few images familiar to me from living in Ohio for most of my life. This is the start of the collaboration.

Flashforward or Flashback

They are people we once knew.
They are people we hope to know.

Theseimages are explorations—documentations of my everyday experiences. Fromthese mostly amorphous, fragmented glimpses of social interactions ourtemporal unconscious selects the moment. It’s the fluidity we recognizein an event, daily life or time passing that is illustrated in analmost painterly way. Unlike the artist painting a stroke across thecanvas, I use the camera to freeze a fraction of time in place and letthe motion of others recreate the dancing movements of interaction.

Inmy exploration of family, friends and acquaintances I began using adigital camera with long exposures, blowing out highlights and blurringthe people and surroundings. The exposures give the images a feeling ofwarmth, inviting you to spend time and explore the frame.

Withthese photographs I have recorded the past and future—memories andmemories in the making, your conscious and unconscious communications.

Peoplereveal themselves through their body language and how they interactwith others. Your interaction with these images may be my nextexploration.

The Camera was a vintage Zeiss Ikon Nettar, it has a sticky shutter, this added to the overall look of the images, motion, vignetting, a yesteryear feel. All images were originally exhibited as silver gelatin prints, 5x5 - 8x8 inches.
