Urban Expressive

16 March to 23 April 2006

Susan Sontag said that all photographs testify to passing moments in time and the mutability of things [On Photography].

The poet Czeslaw Miloscz said that poetry is “an expression of wondering at things, landscapes, people, their habits and mores” [A Book of Luminous Things].

These photographs record my “expressions of wondering” about human experiences in city environments. They record found moments, accretions and ephemera. The walls of the city are palimpsests and most of these images have disappeared since I photographed them.
