The Things That I Make

People Also Leave Presence In A Place Even When They Are No Longer There.

Stones Are Checked Every So Often To See If Any Have Split Or At Worst Exploded. An Explosion Can Leave Debris In The Elements So The Firing Has To Be Abandoned.

Occasionally I Have Come Across A Last Patch Of Snow On Top Of A Mountain In Late May Or June. There's Something Very Powerful About Finding Snow In Summer.

My Approach To Photograph Is Kept Simple, Almost Routine. All Work, Good And Bad, Is Documented. I Use Standard Film, A Standard Lens And No Filters. Each Work Grows, Strays, Decays-integral Parts Of A Cycle Which The Photograph Shows At Its Height, Marking The Moment When The Work Is Most Alive. There Is An Intensity About A Work At Its Peak That I Hope Is Expresses In The Image. Process And Decay Are Implicit.

Art Is Not A Career - It's A Life.
