Photographs

Selected photographs, made before and alongside the films. They are not preparation for the work; they are the same work in another form.

A heavy-set man sits back in a folding chair in the open doorway of a clapboard house, eyes closed against the sun.
An older man in a hooded sweatshirt leans against a low seawall; a lone runner passes far behind him.
A small boy tips a bottle back to drink, a blurred crowd behind him.
A young man bites down on a chain, an open embroidered shirt at his chest, the side of a van behind him.
A boxer holds the bottom of a push-up on the floor of an empty ring.
Close portrait of an older man with long grey locs and a full beard, looking directly into the camera.
A long-haired man in a hat raises both hands toward the camera, fingernails painted dark, boats behind him.
Seen through the panes of a tall window, a man sits alone on a balustrade above a lawn.
A man rests his head against a wall at the foot of a concrete stairwell.
On a beach, a woman stands beside an American flag with the word GOD painted across it; apartment towers rise behind.
A woman draws the same flag around her face, holding it closed with one hand.
Two men stand waist-deep in the ocean; one opens his arms wide to the sky.

In progress

New photographs are being made in South Florida on medium format.
