Statement
BORN: HAAS DARKROOM, MAINE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOPS, ROCKPORT MAINE

Photography is my life. The Maine Media Workshop reinforced that photography could be my life. It has been ever since.

There’s definitely a soul there; that sense of dealing with a duality—two things simultaneously. I tend to compartmentalize things— family life, personal life, photography life— but they always blend and interfere with each other in one positive way or negative way or however it’s going to be. I would say it’s taking the visual analysis of how I look at things and applying that to my life—to my work and relationships. It happens in very unique ways. It’s fascinating. It’s transforming.

I teach and I instill this in my students—the craft of vision analysis. I seek that. It’s chasing the photographic dragon in the context of trying to accentuate my work with process. That comes from my visual ideas.
