Documenting our Landscape

Making photographs is, to a large extent, a visual compromise between the origins and the print. Technique will only take one so far; an internalization of the craft contributes to the ability to record what is there in the landscape, what presents itself for capture. Craft alone, however, makes for boring images. Wedded to one’s craft is the ability to see, to gaze with purpose at that which is right in front of one’s nose, so as to allow one to re-present that which one sees, something that goes well beyond the mere presence of something to be photographed.
