Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Where do you like to take photos?

A. Large chaotic cities are best.

​

​

Q. Why “Taken”?

A. Because people take pictures. And because the act of taking a picture inevitably steals something essential from the subject. (The business of “stealing souls,” once attributed to superstitious savages, is not all that outlandish.) Just about everyone on earth now carries a camera, with the result that images have colonized—indeed taken over—our minds.

Q. Any other thoughts you'd like to pontificate on?

​

A. If you put it that way, I guess not.​

​

Q. I notice that the category titles in your Gallery often overlap. A less charitable observer would say they're completely arbitrary.

A. You’re right. I’ll have to look at that. Also, you made an observation, which is not a question.

​

Q. Sorry. Are your photos for sale?

A. Alas, everything and everyone is for sale. We really need to get over it.
