For years I’ve been contemplating how we perceive the world, what constitutes perception, and what impedes or distorts our perception of what we see and experience.

The words, the language, we employ as photographers contextualizes our experience in very subtle ways.

Generally we’ve come to accept the nature of film as defined by the camera—a receiver and carrier of the image—yet film exists independent of these impressions. There is something more.

…it’s as if we are trying to answer a question about the world, address some riddle that we carry inside, or unravel a mystery that is in the care of us alone.
