Intersections Between Language and Photography

It is my hope that the images reflect something about the individual. The inner and outer life of the boy/man as he trudges through circumstance and missed opportunity, the doubt of new beginnings, and the all-too-real isolation that is our primary condition regardless the presence of another.

And so Dorothea Lange said, “This benefit of seeing… can only come if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image.”

Looking at these images I find them not so quiet. While the boy/man didn’t have much to say out loud, his presence in the scene did. The land and sky are the visual dialogue of his life.

I am satisfied.
