MoMA INTERACTIONS SERIES
For as long as I can remember I’ve had a heightened awareness of my surroundings. I take photographs because I want to capture that feeling of being mesmerized by a moment, so I can relive those feelings each time I look at my work. My camera emboldens me to linger far longer than I might normally feel comfortable. I shot these images discreetly at the Museum of Modern Art using the shutter-priority feature of a small digital camera. Immediate feedback allowed me to examine my personal perspective and determine whether to engage in the process obviously or to simply observe and record.
I think my intentional searches for random coincidences juxtaposed against physical and sometimes, emotional detachment found a voice through blur and articulation in these multi-layered glimpses of frozen time.
Editing my images with Photoshop is akin to being “there” again. I believe an image cannot be created without revealing something about the relationship between the subject and photographer. The placement, the close or distant proximity, the lighting, the shots I choose to keep and the ones I throw away all narrate a search to find order in chaos through intense observation of the accidental commonalities that occur around us each day, in every moment.
