Street Dreams
“If ‘all the world’s a stage’ then the street is my studio, my blank canvas, and so I just wait for characters to walk on or I go in search for them. Formally composing people is not my forte, and my imagination is too poor to invent what I witness on the street.
I always carry my camera primed, and sometimes, without even raising it to my eye, I seize that fleeting moment from the madding crowd before it has gone forever. I constantly look for the sublime to the ridiculous, those juxtapositions and humorous exchanges that most of us miss as we rush by.
In this retrospective, I have tried to present some of my favourites from the last decade or so for you to enjoy, and although some may not grab you, I do hope, on the
whole, I have chosen well. If they raise a smile in these often sad times, at life’s surreal and dreamlike absurdities and interactions on the streets, then I have achieved my goal in Street Dreams.“
