I've been making pictures since 1986, when mom gave me her old Minolta SLR. I was fifteen, and photography was exciting, but it was also technically complex and counterintuitive.
Twenty-five years and hundreds of thousands of images later, I've developed a way of seeing that's based on intuition and trust. I try to be as honest as possible with how an image makes me feel as I'm looking through my camera. Sometimes the concept, color, tone, and composition just aren't working, and I'll do what I can to correct them.
Other times, though, I sense an immediate harmony, a satisfying rightness that I may not be able to explain, even to myself -- I just know. The photographer Julius Shulman referred to these moments as "visual acoustics," and sometimes they make me laugh out loud.
Not because they're funny, but because I'm so elated by the thought that they surround us everywhere, all the time.
This is a collection of images that feel the most right.
