“Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.” – Matt Hardy

“If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.” – Garry Winogrand

Creating new work for the upcoming Biddeford Art Walk gave me an opportunity to review a variety of photographs I’ve made over the years. In this upcoming body of work, titlted “Private Walk”, I’ve used images I’ve made using a mixed bag of formats: conventional 35mm photography, Polaroids, pinhole cameras and digital means. As connected as we are as humans, especially with the dawn of e-communcations and social media, I feel we’re still struggling at what it truly means to communicate as we persue our own private walks through this life. There are still barriers we struggle with breaking down, whether they’re political, spiritual or racial and our ways of seeing are the ways we take along our journey as we all create our private walks. The photographs below represent my viewpoint along my own personal and private walk.
