Thirty-five years of looking, listening, absorbing, shooting—
one thing at a time. Of quieting down, being still, finding one
detail, one design, one face among many. In the course of all
this shooting, frames of film gravitate toward other frames
of film. Compositions share a spark of familiarity, and
themes begin to emerge.
