Driveway, Ashland, Oregon

ARTIST STATEMENT

Photography holds the impossibly seductive promise of learning to see in a new way, which is at once democratic—the “subject” of each photograph is as worthy as the next—and highly individualized—the unique formal qualities of the picture (such as color, framing and lighting) and the personal, cultural and historical referents may be conscious or serendipitous choices made by the photographer. Walt Whitman’s stance of treating all moments as of equal consequence (the democratic) and Gary Winogrand’s stated purpose in taking photographs (to see what the subject looks like as a photograph—individualized seeing) are the essential dynamics behind much of my photography.

This image is from the series, On the Edge of Town, which records the tension in the landscape at the boundaries of small towns. When economic and human equilibrium is reached, towns are resigned to annex the meadowland or foothills around them, in response to the demands of landowners, real estate speculators and developers for unfettered expansion.

I try to use the tension I feel (when viewing and experiencing the forces fueling the unimaginably voracious engine of our economy) as a gauge of how successful the camera and its operator have been in visually reconciling—via the composition of the photograph—a dynamic that, in reality, cannot be reconciled, only endured.
