I shoot preservation architectural photography with the same passion that I do my art and photojournalism. Whether it be the rich narrative in the landscape, “... in that deep sense of voicefulness... which we feel in walls that have long been washed by the passing waves of humanity,”* or the mythic dimension of the characters in my portraits, I look for the epic story at the heart of every project.
There are many expressive ways of narrating history. I look to the architectural details, to the deeply etched memories in the walls and structures. As a photojournalist, my instinct has always been to “seize the moment of truth” as Henri Cartier-Bresson has said, and let that moment define the story.
*John Ruskin, ‘The Lamp of Memory’
