As a photographer I am often asked "what were you looking for when you shot this?". Honestly my answer is usually "I wasn't looking for anything, I was just seeing what was already there - hidden in plain sight - and letting my imagination take over".
To me these images create a story in my mind. At the time I see and shoot the image, a story told, just for me, begins. That story deepens and develops when I take it back to my computer and let the story unfold in 'my digital darkroom'. Sometimes the story comes to fruition and other times I am left with a cliff-hanger.
