Moving Images

I love making pictures, especially if you romanticize it.

It turns out to be an exhausting, technical practice. Pre-dawn calls and late-night hours, with creeping thoughts that you’ve missed something.

Even after wrap, you have to hustle, and deliver.

There isn’t anything else I would do.  I particularly thank my patient wife and kids who suffer along with my schedule.

I start by looking around and connecting with my subjects.  The goal is to disappear. Once I’m part of the furniture, the work reveals itself.
