FIELD NOTES
There is a defining impulse shared by anyone who identifies as a photographer: to read the world through images, to remember through images, to express oneself through images.
When this visual direction persists along a particular trajectory, photographic series begin to take shape—sustained bodies of work that engage a consistent subject, eventually forming a coherent collection of images around a shared theme.
Most of the time, however, this impulse manifests spontaneously, as a constant need to take notes with the camera, to register what draws the photographer’s attention and captures their imagination in that moment.
These field notes form a kind of visual record, both mental and physical, of a photographer moving through the world with curiosity and persistence, for whom the mundane becomes the object of sustained attention—encountered as a succession of seemingly unrelated images.
