Excellent documentary photography, sometimes the subject transcends the photograph. I used to go to Vancouver on the weekends, I went to school in Bellingham. We used to love to walk through Chinatown and also this area, things have sure changed. These photographs make me want to go there again.

The idea of framing, or selecting, is the essential task of making a photograph. These photographs evoke the process, and also, to me, question the whole process of making a photograph. Very evocative.

Photography can communicate in many ways, some intended, and some not. These photographs are oddly depressing and sad.

Think of your photographs in 20 years, or 40 years. Time changes how a photograph is viewed. I wonder if I would have loved these photographs without the passage of time? Many of them I would.

The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents

The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents

I have assumed that there was not a fundamental difference between film and digital. For me, in my photography, there isn't. but I agree with the distinctions and ideas in this article. The joy and challenge of looking at photographs is that it is a remnant of a real interaction at a specific moment in time, the more this interaction or connection is weakened the less interesting, and the less valuable, the photograph becomes. For me photography is sharing a way of seeing.

Simple clear respectful photography of a surreal institution. Photography has the power to reveal and hopefully change what it reveals.
