Over the past 30 years I have wandered through many cities around the world, capturing scenes of the city and its people. A snapshot sometimes has an inexplicable power that transcends meaning or explanation. It gives me a strange feeling of having entered the realm of the other side of the mirror, a place that realistically reflects reality, but not reality as it is. I believe that by accumulating snapshots in which chance plays an important role, I can capture something that is different from the appearance of the city as we know it or think of it. All I have been able to do, and will continue to do,is to put myself in the streets, walk as much as I can, and take snapshots of the people and unexpected sights I encounter as my body reacts them.
