I’ve carried a camera to many places.

Aimed it and fired it at those moments when something stopped me in my tracks, at those things that obliterated the entire world around them, seizing my sight and attention. On a back road in Ireland, amid the monoliths in the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, the dizzying side streets of Tokyo, and the gutter in front of my home in Portland, Oregon.

These are images that leapt into life in front of me, somehow determined to be frozen and memorialized.

One of the things about Harry Callahan—in addition, of course, to his fine photographs—is that he was almost tongue-tied when it came to talking about his work.

I am the same.

The best I can do is quote Thomas Merton:

“Let us come alive to the splendor that is all around us, and see the beauty in ordinary things.”

I do hope that you’ll find something here that moves you, something that you’d like to look at—and live with—for a long while.
