My favorite photographic subjects are landscapes, although I prefer the term "physical environment" to describe these scenes. As used in western cultures, "landscape" suggests a removal or estrangement from our physical surroundings in the form of a human/nature or human/environment dichotomy. However, we can never divorce ourselves completely from the physcial environment, although we can (and have) inflict great damage on it. Through my photographic practices, I hope to cultivate a more thoughtful awareness of our physical surroundings. Look for some of my other favorite landscapes in the rooms 1, 2 and 3.
