These photographs were on exhibit in 2004 at Hunt Cavanagh Art Gallery of Providence College.
On Seeing Artist Statement
On Seeing
Photography brings the camera and the subject intimately close, the photographer becoming the tool and voyeur of this intimate relationship. What I see is not what the camera records. While the camera is a tool for me, I am a tool for the camera. The result of this symbiotic relationship is my photography.
I photograph my environment. By looking at these photographs, you will see what the camera recorded and what I saw. In that sense, photography becomes a mirror to my past. Through this, I want to tell you the stories of the faces and places I have seen.
All this will work based On Seeing, mine, the camera’s, and yours.

Thanks Jim, another title for that photograph was “Two Sacks”. That was a great exhibit.
