LANDSCAPES AT THE EDGE OF PERCEPTION


It seems presumptuous to expect things to hold still for us while we fiddle with the buttons & dials on our camera. What's more interesting to me than subjects tamed by the camera's self-conscious gaze is how experiences register on our brains amid the chaos of life in progress. Photography can be a way of redefining what it is we're trying to see—of searching for what slips quietly past while we otherwise would stand by, impatient for events to work their way into the light of our preconceptions.
