all i ever really want to know is how other people are making it through life - where do they put their body, hour by hour, and how do they cope inside of it.

I appear here exactly how I approach life: don't cover up the messy, embrace the raw and the real, find beauty in the everyday.  I have no interest in creating images that don't make me gasp, and I'm not here to ask you to sit or stay or to look here and smile at the camera. Life is not a positioning of the perfect, of the staging of pressed blouses and neatly manicured children on footstools, and that isn't the kind of photograph I wish to take. I want dirt on those hands. I want you to laugh, really laugh. I want a day in the life of you, unapologetic and human, because that's the good stuff, the real stuff.
