It’s about moments in life that are great but don’t last. They don’t go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you. That’s what I was thinking about.

Our electrically-configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition. We can no longer build serially, block-by-block, step-by-step, because instant communication insures that all factors of the environment and of experience coexist in a state of active interplay.

I was introduced to the work of Arne Svenson through Feature Shoot’s article about his series called The Neighbors. Svenson shot these while observing through adjacent apartment windows in Tribeca. I love the voyeuristic nature of these - though I recognize some people might have issues with it. Svenson likens himself to a “birder.” For me, these incidental gestures and throwaway moments, where people are just being themselves, are the connective tissue holding a life story together.
This series is showing at the Julie Saul Gallery through June 29, 2013.
