Happy Day, people. I’m pleased you’re here. Thanks very much in advance for…
I’ve been around since 1983, when I was born to my mother and father. They loved me a great deal. But they didn’t necessarily protect or empower me. I witnessed domestic violence. And then experienced the heartbreak that was the loss of my family.
I have no clue where I stand with respect to advertising, but I have, in the past, become more than a little obsessed with the way I’m influenced by messaging.

I have no clue where I stand with respect to advertising, but I have, in the past, become more than a little obsessed with the way I’m influenced by messaging. It seemed unfair that I had no choice but to read, read, read the words in the outdoor environment. I wished I had the power or strength of mind to limit that.
As communication with images also have power, it seemed I could interpret my responses to the visual environment by reading images that I myself created—and take back some control. I could explore them and make sense of them—or trust the moment and stay still.
And don’t I also choose to supplant my understanding of my own emotions with representations designed or coded to influence the viewer? This gets tricky.
Photography has been a way for me to relate to myself and to the ways I interpret the visual world. It’s fun.
