I have been shooting the Frenchtown Road and along Lily Bay Rd., in Greenville and around the camps. I read the anthology, Situation as a primer for the ideas I am working through this term. I acquired the books from my bibliography and supplimentary materials. I am disecting books: their structure and substance. The use of text and supplementary imagry [found materials] interests me. The book's arc makes me think of fly fishing, that beautiful hock, pull, catch and release. My favorite books are Bill Burke's I want to Take Your Picture, Alec Soth's From Here to There, August Sanders' Face of Our Time, Fazel Sheikh's The Victor Weaps, and Alan Sekula's Fish Story. I have narrowed it to ten but these are the big five. I am in awe of August Sanders' People of the Twentith Century. I have shoot in the Moosehead Lake region for over twenty years and the archetypes are an easy pause on the nature of space.
A walk is not just mechanical motion but also a space for critical thinking and creativity. My practice values narrating the geometry of my relationships. My photographs, as well as everyday items, souvenirs and interactions serve as frames that engage my life’s “open spaces” and areas of interest, including land use, domestic identity and social policy.
