"When i first was initiated into photography, early 90’s let’s say, during the last legs of the darkoom, though nobody quite understood that yet, the talk [and i was brought up in a real west coast mystical tradition rather than an east coast street style] the talk was all about learning to really see and by extension, through one’s photographs, teaching other people how to see. you know, people don’t really see; a photographer is a seer. these days though the prevailing dogma is that the photographer is like a curator; a photographer shows people what’s worth seeing rather than learning to see for themselves."

“There’s a moment for everyone when you fall into your own shadow and the fact is that it’s your shadow and you’re forced to live in it. And this is nothing to celebrate or not celebrate. It simply is.”
