In his own words: "I photograph people I know using an 8 x 10 camera and strobe lights in an effort to distill a single metonymic view from the temporal aggregate of our interaction. In the time between my compositional decision and the final shutter trip reside the levels of my subject's self-presentation. A photograph is an object: I make these portraits to bring to light the doubling of photography's truthful exactitude with its simultaneous layer of remove."
