“Give a man color film …sooner or later you’ll catch him in the garden…

September 5, 2008

“Fashion, flowers, nudes and portraits — they’re all the same: light, form, color. And mystery. And mystery is very important.

A straight photograph cannot be abstract

September 4, 2008

“They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things. When you see a fish you don’t think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen […]

chasing butterflies and blue skies

August 24, 2008

as a child i chased butterflies with a net now i chase images Once caught, I never knew quite what to do with the butterflies. I looked at them under a microscope. I marveled at their color and delicate lightness. I ended up feeling uneasy that, as I studied them, they became less beautiful; battered […]
