When people look at a photograph, they believe it… My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.
What attracts me in photography is not so much a fine arts approach, but rather photographs as documents… All the ways in which human beings have documented the world in an attempt to order it, in an attempt to consume it or rule it or hang on to it in some sense.
What I’ve always liked about photography is that it’s such a direct way of showing what’s on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.
