As a child, I never understood why people made photographs, since
they just looked like a record of what you could see with your eyes. I
was more interested in creating images that looked different. During a
visit to Times Square, my parents bought me a small novelty camera that
produced circular photographs, which I thought would allow me to create
unique images. However, I never actually got to see any of the circular
photographs I shot, since the camera had an unfortunate voyage through a
washing machine with my first roll of film. Unfortunately, my parents
were unable to replace the camera. As a result, making circular
photographs become one of my first objectives when I began to pursue
photography as an adult. I like circular photographs, because they offer
a deep, dreamlike perspective.
This photograph was shot in Acadia National Park in Maine, a
place where I take photographs for at least a few days every summer.
