In my photography, it is important for me to get below the visible surface. I look for opportunities for self-expression and learning more about myself, and my best work is when I make a connection with my subject, forming a collaborative relationship. "Corner and Window" is one of a series of nude photographs that came from such a collaborative effort.

I would rather my work elicits a "negative" reaction than no reaction at all. This could be the new standard of judgement: a reliance on response (pleasure, aversion, et cetera) rather than on supposedly transcending truths.
