My actual process — on the surface — is not so complicated. I sense, I almost smell the possibility of a photograph. I try to follow the rhythm of the streets. Sometimes I walk through situations, sometimes I hang out. It all depends on what the world gives me. In the afterword to his book “Travelogue,” Charles Harbutt talks about how it’s not only that he’s looking for a photograph, but that sometimes the photograph is also looking for him. I like this notion.

“Photography can still be used to champion activism and change. I believe this, even while standing in the cool winds of postmodernism… Postmodernism looked radical, but it wasn’t. As a movement it was profoundly liberal and became a victim of itself. Precisely at this historical moment, when multicultural democracy is the order of the day, photography can be used as a powerful weapon toward instituting political and cultural change. I for one will continue to work toward this end.”
