It is my belief that the most challenging photographs are those that create a tension between what we refer to as the real and the imaginative.

If an artist is one who spends his life trying to define his being, I guess I would have to call myself an artist.

[My] goal as an artist is to create increasingly complex images with greater and greater clarity of form and intensity of vision.

Black and White is essentially an abstract way to interpret and transform what one might refer to as reality. My purpose in taking photographs over the past forty years has ultimately been about defining myself. It has been fundamentally a psychological and existential journey.

Nothing is staged. And nothing is already there. Everything is transformed through the camera.

The pictures are of a psychological culture, a Jungian culture, if you will. It emanates from my own psyche... It's a hard place to get to, honestly. It has taken me many years to get to that place and to define it visually.

When you go searching, you never know what you will find.
