Away Ten Years:Photographs
Preface
At the end of March 2001, I left Providence, Rhode Island to make my home in Paris. Now I have been away from America for ten years. To celebrate that occasion, I selected these images. I limited the selection to images of the Old World. I took most of them, if not all of them, but sometimes you cannot be sure. The camera gets passed around. I do have them all, so they are mine. Now this selection is also yours.
I have tried to create images. This is not a documentary of where I have been and who I have been with. Whatever it is I use to record all of what I see, it is not a camera.
Everything is moving and changing, be it people, clouds, or objects carved in stone. The camera has the peculiar power to make everything stop.
I began with film in a Nikon SLR camera. The Nikon SLR became digital. This year, the images were made with an iPhone.
