I photograph obvious objects that ask the viewer the question: “When you look at me, do you really see me?”

When people ask me the standard question, "what kind of photography do you do?", I am always stumped as to how to answer their question. For me it is not really important what I photograph, but rather how I approach and work with the subject. Each new subject requires careful study: technically, to understand how I am going to get the subject on film; emotionally, to find the essence of the subject, and finally, I attempt to have the image ask the question “are you that familiar with me that you know who I am?”.
