Documenting our Landscape

Good photographs, like good writing, like good arguments, pose questions. There is nothing straightforward about the photographic image. In each instance, when I instruct my finger to release the shutter, I am making a statement about something or another that I am seeing. I may use the camera to deconstruct nature by presenting a thin slice of some landscape or another thereby demystifying the landscape into a reasonable visual image for later viewing. Because I have processed the image I have placed the origins of the image elsewhere than in the image abandoning the exterior for the interior cohesion of the image re-presented as other than that which is always already gone.
