My target images are recognized and recorded instantaneously- guerrilla photography. I employ no propping, staging, or artificial lighting (other than built-in flash). All shots are hand held, small camera, no tripod. The pictures that result record exactly what I saw in the raw state.
The medium is not equipment centric allowing critical spontaneity to be opportunistic. Camera at my side at all times, I’m always ready to stop in the middle of the street, to capture a fleeting image. By minimizing the equipment, it becomes all about perceiving and recording the moment.
I value most my photographs when the moment to capture the subject is quick and unforgiving- in between frenetic traffic, a break in the clouds for the right light, or stealing up on people without their knowledge. Once gone- gone forever.
