My photographs engage with things that can be seen, intuited, and extracted directly from the fabric of everyday life. When photographing people, I’ve paid particular attention to exterior evidence of interior thought and feeling. In exploring such ambiguities, I think of the images as encapsulations of time: a summary of what seems to be true in the apparent present as represented by each image, a hint of what might have taken place that led up to that moment, and a portent of what may soon follow.

“The world is always ‘already there’ before reflection begins….” Maurice Merleau-Ponty
