To an extent, all photographs are a self-portrait. One is drawn to a scene because it contains something of one’s view of the world. But only to an extent. This was taken 15 years before I even noticed it. I imagine I was moved to take out the camera because of the interesting geometry of […]

new noir
There’s something that fascinates me about a person concentrating upon a view of their reflection in a mirror. Compositionally it presents a challenge, and yet is quite simple. It’s the eye, stupid.
