towing its seemingly paradoxical strict docu-aesthetic line: he never crops his photographs

I could easily have been taken for one of them

1989-1997 OOP february 2003I started taking photographs as a teenager, nearly twenty five years ago. Since then my work has been an ongoing meditation around desire, loss, and the role of photography as a vehicle for remembrance. My pictures often function as metaphors for the way the mind works: simultaneously collecting images while letting others go, fading in the way memories fade, and alluding to the fact that, historically, photographs have faded as well.
