Several of my photographs areavailable through the RayKo Photo Center Marketplace at 428 Third Street, San Francisco, CA, 415-495-3773.I encourage you to stop by and see all of the work available there. There are always wonderful exhibitions in RayKo's galleries, too.
At a photographic workshop years ago, the instructor encouraged students to “fall through the lens.” Although I’m sorry to say that I no longer recall which instructor said that, or what else happened at that workshop, I’ve carried those words with me.
Falling through the lens (or the pinhole) means allowing myself to be drawn to or moved by what I see, to experience its emotional and symbolic significance for me in that moment (even if that content isn’t readily accessible verbally), to become absorbed in the process of making a photograph – a silent interaction between me and the subject, whether the subject is a landscape, a tree, a river, or a rock. To fall though the lens means to set aside thinking and control, for the most part.
I hope that my photographs will convey experience as it’s lived subjectively, especially in the dreamlike moments that we may not always notice as we go about our lives.
