Blog: The Geography of Memory

A recapitulation of my work and wandering ways with thanks to those that have influenced and encouraged me to keep writing and making images.

Note: The blog’s format is such that you often have to click “read more” to see the image, especially at the bottom of a page.

A Moment of Silence

Too many photographers pay more attention to technique and forget style which is more important. I have never run a “studio”. And when I make a portrait, I do not “pose” my subject. I observe and I press the shutter when the character surges forth.

He stands unmoving at the back of a Bangkok Chao Phraya Express Boat. Perhaps he doesn’t know his destination as he looks back from where he boarded. Maybe I don’t know mine either… I’m here to watch the river flow and forget about time. A portrait of a monk and a river, of silence… the past forgotten and the future behind us.
