SOME THINGS I HAVE SEEN
Since 1970 I have used the camera as a framing tool to capture a subjective view of themes that have deeply interested me, such as loneliness in the urban landscape, the impact of mankind on the natural environment, or the recording of ancestral customs. They are images taken in various places around the world where I have lived or visited recurrently.
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 frozen moment, like a fly trapped in amber. The mind’s eye records the exact moment you choose to press the shutter, and in the processing that follows, you seek confirmation on film of what you hoped to capture. However, viewed 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, remaining as a motionless reminder of a single moment. Dedicated to that single moment, this website explores my work in black and white photography spanning over half a century.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you will find it of interest.
