I photograph because I would like part of my spirit to live forever. The fact of my future death offends me. Part of this derives from a sense of my own insignificance in the universe. My life and death are barely a momentary flicker. I would like to become more than that. That the people and things I love will die wounds me as well. I seek to immortalize the world I have found and made for myself, even knowing that I won’t be there to witness that immortality, mine or my work’s, that by definition I will never know whether my endeavor has been truly successful. But when has impossibility ever deterred anyone from a cherished goal?
