Documenting our Landscape

Photographs do not re-present the real. As a photographer I frame a shot, convert what I see in three dimensions into two dimensions, removing all that I consider visually unappealing. Because of this fundamental feature, the photograph can be nothing more than a simulacrum of the exteriority of the other. The photograph is more than a replication of that which is always already absent, it is a commentary on that which is seen, a deconstruction of the ideal, of the perfect form. The photograph inquires about something visual leaving many questions unspoken and unseen.
