There is the general that we all see, but the individual fills in the details. I am interested in the ability to remember, the attempt to retain or return to the impermanent and the relationship of color, light, and objects in the retrieval or association of images and emotions. I have photographed places of emotional connection for myself that invite the projections of the viewer's own memory. These are images of the simultaneity of perception and memory both at the moment of exposure and then repeated by the viewer. They express a sense of nostalgia and loss, but not without comfort from the existence of these specific and shared corners of the ordinary. The viewer is standing in his own shoes in the hallway of human experience.
