"If I could say it all in words, I wouldn't bother with a camera." --- One of my professors at Pratt didn't much care for that the first time I said it, but as she got to know me I think she realized it was the truth. I treat photography not just as a way of seeing, but a way of feeling; a way to convey things I've tried but failed to speak or write. So while I can talk of some general themes that run throughout my work --- quiet introspection, isolation --- spelling out every little nuance feels foreign to me. All I can say for sure is that photography is a way of finding another world, and some piece of myself, in this one.
