The notion of exploring time within the bounds of the still photograph is a fascinating concept. Time allows us to control the amount of light reaching the camera’s sensor, but also the way in which the subject or scene in front of us is rendered.

Time allows us to tell a story, explore a concept or suggest new and interesting ways of seeing which go beyond a straight rendering of the scene or subject in question.

The way we work with time allows us to explore reality, suggestion or abstraction. It allows us to produce images in the now that, somehow, harken back to days gone by or suggest possible future outcomes.

The notion of photographs as time capsules is important, as is our ability to use time to explore concepts of nostalgia and metamorphosis and decay.
