Travels

The world is a palette of unending visual possibilities. The creative problem for the photographer lies in refining the raw grist of visual experience into arresting images. The near impossibility of finding that elusive relationship of form and content that infers narrative to an image has been the challenge of photography since its inception. Unlike painting, photography cannot be divorced from it existential ground, its actualities and meanings. The photograph has a believability - which is the crux of its imagery - that lies behind its persuasiveness. But a photograph is no more fact than fiction. Removed by its very nature from context, a still image becomes an abstraction, a metaphor, a rebellious rapture in the implacable progression of time.
