“Photography is my core means of exploration, whether examining rows of ancient stone wells in the Sahara desert or rows of palm trees in an otherwise barren Southern California business park. It’s the reason I find myself in the Fox studio shooting stills of a teaser for a burlesque reality show, or on an oyster fisherman’s boat learning about the dead zone, or in a rural Haitian mountain village, or surrounded by neon-clad teens at Mardi Gras World. It allows me to notice the idiosyncratic and simple, to study and understand the complex.”
