Photography, for me, is a poetic expression. You work your way through things that are of visual interest. Each stage has the potential to create an identity but identity isn't the ultimate goal. Everything that comes into play in making the image is. The chase, the weather, the light, the subject, the availability, the bad photos, the camera, the lens. The photographer's integration of the variables ultimately becomes the image. It can't be undone. It can't, necessarily, be duplicated. I think of making photographs as a completion with myself. Myself from yesterday.
