About me
For years and years I have been driven to freeze moments and fractions of moments. An artist aims not always at creating, but at times to conserve. In 1985 I prepared for my very first trip on my own and for the first time into an unknown destination. Nothing seemed more self-evident to me than the need for a camera able to freeze fractions with quality and accuracy. I did not need to document where I had been.
Nineteen-eighty-five, all the way up to two-thousand-fourteen, and I feel that I am just now noticing the details behind my needing to photograph. During the most part of three decades I was living an impulse that I suspect was set in me by constantly having seen my father, either with a Super-8 or with a Minolta, as I was growing and he was frequently capturing what his family did.
Life is propelled by and extended through hunger, as much as it is supported by the activities that subside or consume hunger and by the joy experienced through them. Life becomes liveliness when we learn to please our palate and our mind and understand that our existence is not merely biology, but predominantly spirit.
As an elevating and constructive dwelling in pleasure, hedonism is my religion (a high level of respect towards the sacred). And what better hedonistic practice is there than the responsible use of tobacco in form of pipes and cigars, or the delight in fine spirits, coffee and spices?
