Artist Statement—Why I Photograph
Photography suits the diverse sides of my nature. With my camera slung around my neck, I become an extrovert. I feel emboldened as I go places and worlds open to me. I enjoy connections with people I never dreamed of knowing.
I am an analog photographer, processing my own film and making prints in my darkroom. It is a quiet, unhurried process that encourages the more private side of me. In the dark, I ponder images as they appear in the developer, evaluate them while still wet. I am truly enamored with the range of grey scale that black-and-white photography offers. These are the “colors” of my palette and I am in love with the subtleties this offers my work.
Darkroom work involves manual labor and I like working with my hands— from shooting film to final print. I like to think that the method of my work reflects the people I choose to photograph: people living in rural societies and the traditions woven into their daily lives. People from Appalachia, the Balkans, the Roma (gypsies) in Greece.
A Hasselblad is my “go-to” camera these days, a mechanical beast with a shutter that makes a loud “clunk” when released and a film advancer that winds up like a fishing rod.
As I photograph, I write stories. The two art forms are easy partners. My stories include portraits of people and candid journal accounts of my days in quest of a better understanding of my subjects and the worlds they live in.
