about these images
instinctively i’m drawn to the space in-between, overlooked, ignored, seen but not seen, an area of unmediated flowerings of beauty, existing only briefly before disappearing forever. shot on film, without reliance on composited fakery, the camera and the eye capturing the unusual.
about “there is no such thing…”
“there is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. there is always something to see, something to hear.” - John Cage
about “the end”
this project is very loosely inspired by the cigarette photos of Irving Penn, a homage of sorts though in no way equal to his incredible images.
