From the beginning, “Still Life”was created not as a journalistic effort, but as an artistic pursuit to tell a story within a decisive moment. With a click of the button, I create fertile ground for the viewer’s imagination to take hold, and interpret the resulting image. The pages of this book contain a body of work from both film and digital formats, spanning nearly 30 years. Shot sporadically on weekends and short trips I call walkabouts, the book is an eclectic collection of images from a variety of cities, including New York, Boston, and Toronto. “Still Life” is an invitation to the state of seeing, and is the result of a personal visual journey started many years ago. Each page is part of that journey, and each photo offers endless possibilities for the mind’s eye to observe and narrate the story. – Jeffrey S. Blackwell
