I Don't Get Straight People, But I

Most Photographs, To Me, Are Description, But They Lack Insight.

Photography Is Essentially An Act Of Recognition By Street Photographers, Not An Act Of Invention. Photographers Might Respond To An Old Man’s Face, Or An Arbus Freak, Or The Way Light Hits A Building—and Then They Move On. Whereas In All The Other Art Forms, Take William Blake, Everything That Came To That Paper Never Existed Before. It’s The Idea Of Alchemy, Of Making Something From Nothing.

It Is No Accident That You Are Reading This. I Am Making Black Marks On White Paper. These Marks Are My Thoughts, And Although I Do Not Know Who You Are Reading This...the Lines Of Our Lives Have Intersected. For The Length Of These Few Sentences, We Meet Here. It Is No Accident That You Are Reading This. This Moment Has Been Waiting For You, I Have Been Waiting For You. Remember Me.

I Don't Get Straight People, But I Understand What They Look Like.

Photography Deals Exquisitely With Appearances, But Nothing Is What It Appears To Be.
