I am in Chicago, where my for-hire photographic work is largely
either editorial magazine or events. With this, I am close to as
wide a range of American life as this compelling city offers.
This body of personal work comes from the moments in between; when some moment reveals itself, and I have the energy and time to try to put it on film. As I photograph I react to broad themes that interest me, and only later do I, or others, notice details in one image that reinforces another; thus the structure of the body of work has emerged upon reflection. Currently I am working to break some of my more rigid working habits (without discarding them entirely), allowing myself to document a wider range of occurrences. Let us treat the men and women well; treat them as if they were real; perhaps they are.
