This is a new series I started since moving to Denton, Texas. It explores the idea of trying to find a sense of the familiar in an unfamiliar place, and how that discovery is sometime eerie, dark and frightening. I wanted to experiment with shooting 4x5 pinhole and I ended up making two 4x5 pinhole cameras.
Photography is my calling, my profession, and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I don’t photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel.
Admittedly, it’s a bit of a strange concept. But it’s honest – and it’s the best way to describe my approach to the craft. I wrestle with every image I shoot. I assume perfection is possible and I want to wring it out of every picture. If that’s all you ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me very, very well..
