Photographing people and places is like storytelling where there are two authors--the subject and the photographer. Neither fully controls the outcome, yet through the efforts of both a photograph can reveal something about the subject's life that may be meaningful to audiences removed in time and place.
"You're as welcome as you make yourself," a Catskill's woman told me while taking her portrait. For over 15 years I have learned to appreciate my home in the Catskills by photographing families, farms, festivals, seasonal rituals, and architecture in the region.
These photographs are from an exhibit about a small village represented through portraits and family histories of village residents, a photographic essay on the opening night of deer hunting season, and from one of many projects documenting architecture in the region.
