Lately I've been exploring a more narrative approach to photography.  While I remain as steadfastly averse as ever to having my picture taken (the notion of a selfie is about as alien to my character as you can get), the urge to present a more expressive view of the world, this landscape that I am witnessing and with which I feel a deep connection, compels this sort of staging, this necessity to lend a human presence who is seeing what the camera sees, as well as taking/making the picture. In the process of creating a drawing or a painting, I achieve this kind of concrete, durable and satisfying cohesion with the subject, but with photography the connection is, frustratingly, both more ephemeral and mercurial. That's where these semi-anonymous, yet personally meaningful images have their source.
