This project began while I was thinking about the need to create and keep memories. Photography, of course, serves the purpose of doing more than our memories can on their own. Sometimes a photo can make a memory even more beautiful than the original experience. I have spent the past 20 years traveling around the world and those travels have included some amazing but fleeting moments. This has lead me to look for other peoples photos to see what moments they considered worthy to capture and keep. I often think about how much more difficult it was to take a photo decades ago, so I like to create scenes that maybe could not have happened for the subject when they lived. In a way, that makes me feel like I’m giving them the opportunity to see what I have seen and experienced what I’ve experienced. I hope you enjoy the results of these collages as much as I have enjoyed making them.
