'I am eternally drawn to the immediacy of the Polaroid. I would best describe my subjects as lovers, friends and fellow artists. They are impersonators of their own and my ideas for an image. The photographs become an osmotic membrane between me and them and again the immediacy of the medium I choose to work with allows me to share, almost instantly, our results. I am an archivist, gathering not only community experiences but also sights of metropolises, architecture, nature and quotidian life. I am in search of a present-day interpretation of landscape, still life and sexuality.'
