This won't hurt a bit!
I’ve started this blog with a number of ulterior motives and purposes. Among them a tool for teaching, sharing, collaborating and experimenting. (Not to mention shameless self-promotion) It is my hope that you will come here often, post your thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, questions, requests and yes proposals.
I photographed with my friend Liuva yesterday, it was a great dialogue with a camera present. She validated a lot of my thoughts about what I do. I've a bad habit of not explaining myself fully to my subjects. We spoke of the relationship between photographer and subject, collaboration, performance and the ability to step outside oneself if only for a few hours. I do regret one thing; that I can't spend more time with the people I photograph or get closer to them. I read about photographers who spend days, weeks, months with their subjects with a certain amount of jealousy.
