The magic happens when an emotional thread is pulled between photographer, viewer, and subject as tenuous and as strong as spider's silk. The photograph then speaks on a level no other medium can mimic. It ties us to each other in a common humanity sharing smiles, insights, promise, evocations, work and whimsy. The image becomes a meditation, like holding one's breath. Breathe in, breathe out have a look. What follows are images from India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Italy, Greece, France, London, Oslo, Los Angeles and my birthplace, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Contact me to purchase a signed print.
