Witness

Welcome

To witness means ‘to have knowledge of something, someone or some event from personal observation or experience.’ That’s what these photographs are - me witnessing something, then showing it to you. So please - show up, step inside, get involved and share the moment.

Here’s Joel Meyerowitz on the subject:

The challenge really is to be open enough as an artist that the photograph I may take is not such a fixed work of art that it stands out there and you look at it and then move on to the next… I’m trying to make them portals into the momentary characters of reality so the viewer can enter in as if they’re standing in my shoes… I like the loose, broken, open-ended quality of photography because then the viewer enters and has an experience of their own - of that moment in time. And that’s the thing I think I’m sharing. Joel Meyerowitz
