What interests me is the idea that mythology is real. In one sense mythology gathers small untruths that when taken as a whole form a story of humanity’s real experience and striving.

In this tradition, photography is ideographic; photography is its own language. A body of work developed over time deals with the associations of picture to picture rather than the notion of the preconceived photographic masterpiece. By working intuitively (making photographs, digesting those photographs, going out to make more), one allows meaning to develop and be sustained by the pictures themselves, rather than by a pre-formulated idea or simple continuity of subject matter. By keeping the work in the back of my mind, I’m drawn to make certain photographs, yet I never know what I’m going to photograph next.
