"These images were not intentional. I did not set out to make this body
of work. These photographs are an organic response to an experience
that is at the same time the most unique and the most universal of
experiences: the birth of a child. The photographs that resulted from
that response are simple pictures of my family made during the first
two years of my son's life. At the same time that I was experiencing
the intense joy of new life, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer.
It's fair to say that I found myself reflecting on obvious themes of
life and death. Through my son, my role as the son took on new meaning
and my senses were hypertuned to the evidence of my own life passing.
Then these photographs just sort of happened. They are a record of
love and a reflection on the seasonal nature of life."
