“I have never sought the unexpected, the novelty, the extraordinary, but rather what is most typical of our daily life. . . . I go out to find people who resemble me, and the mirror which these images offer them is the same as that in which I see myself.”
Willy Ronis I wish I had written these words. My photographic hero, one of the great French humanist photographers, said it all for me. I want to show the joy and beauty of what is all around us every day. I am much more interested in people than in spectacular places or momentous events. Another photographic hero, Robert Doisneau described himself as a "fisherman of images". I like the metaphor of hanging out at an interesting time and place with my camera baited and waiting unobtrusively for a bite. I would enjoy hearing your response to my work and to my website. Please email me. |
