«My images are seen through the camera; they are not cropped or manipulated in the darkroom or computer. I select common objects in familiar settings that provide or imply a larger context within a specific society. The process of selection is a priority for me and my photography.»
«My photographs have to do with the quality of our lives in the everyday and ongoing environment; they show a grain of the present, like a ring in the cross-section of a tree. They focus on the mundane and ordinary world and I think that no subject is fuller of implications than this one. It is possible to find interest and pleasure in banality, disorder and the discarded.»
«I strive to make forms make sense visually and I try to find beauty and displays of color in ordinary scenes and subject matter and trust that the metaphor, the mystery, the poetry will follow.»
