Abstract/Artist's Statement
I wasn’t sure if I would find You when I started looking.
but chance has led me to You. and You to me.
and here we Are.
I give You something of me and
sometimes,
I receive something of You.
now there is a photograph,
a record of our moment together.
our moment with You.
--
I Was Looking for You is comprised of encounters, a yearning for connection, and a deference to the will of chance. It is a search for familiarity in the unfamiliar and unplanned.
A photograph is not one-sided; a portrait is more than the corollary image. I am deeply moved by the act of photographing someone I do not know. I think of a portrait as a shared moment of reflection, observation, and introspection. The resulting photograph is a record of that experience.
