SOME THINGS I HAVE SEEN
The very nature of photography —that ability to capture a moment and revisit it later— allows us to look through a window into the past and observe that moment frozen, like a fly trapped in amber. The mind’s eye records the exact moment you chose to press the shutter and in the processing that follows, you seek confirmation of that which you had hoped to capture. However, seen from the distant perspective of time, the photograph takes on a quality of its own, and a certain detachment develops.
The result is a subjective interpretation of the object of my gaze, a motionless reminder of a single moment. Dedicated to that single moment, this website explores my work in black and white photography since 1970, when I began using the camera as a framing tool. The images presented in this website represent themes that have interested me deeply, such as loneliness in the urban landscape, the impact of mankind on the natural environment, or the recording of ancestral customs. Taken in places around the world where I have lived or visited repeatedly, I hope you will find them of interest. Thank you for visiting.
