Reflecting on the intersections of photography, imagination, and human encounters.
On this site, I explore the role of photography in shaping people's imagination and understanding of the world.
I approach photography as a political and social phenomenon that can be acted upon for various ends.
In turn, it is a medium that can influence and instigate events.
My lifelong interest in the deceptively powerful force of photography led me to become a scholar of media literacy,
something I apply even within my own art practices.
"Photography is an investigation of both the outer and the inner worlds. The first experiences with the camera involve looking at the world beyond the lens, trusting the instrument will 'capture' something 'seen.' The terms shoot and take are not accidental; they represent an attitude of conquest and appropriation. Only when the photographer grows into perception and creative impulse does the term make definite a condition of empathy between the external and the internal events."
