Call and Response
My book, Call and Response, is the result of shooting intuitively to minimize the space between my eye and what was happening in front of me, and the title is a reflection of that relationship shared between my eye and the world. I see the title as fulfilling an additional job of setting up the feeling and the texture of the book as being one of a spiritual self-reflection of sorts. It is the most personal body of work I’ve assembled with each spread playing a part in a greater stream of consciousness, and in keeping with the shooting process I employed, I sequenced them intuitively as well. While I don’t push much of a narrative in this work, I felt as though it was important for it to be presented as a book to draw out the connections from image to image. I believe that the binding of this book is the genuine nature I instilled in it, and I believe that feature is its most valuable quality beyond any theme or motif that may present itself.
