“It’s a feeling that I’m after —whether photographing a person or a place—of knowing that I caught a glimpse of silence and stillness so beautiful it only existed for that fleeting moment. This process gives me a sense of understanding of the people and places around me and how we’re connected through the nuances of humanity. In the space between my camera and my subjects, there’s a great sense of intimacy and vulnerability in which you’ll see the subjects for who and what they truly are.
My decade-long project with Daniel Johnston was that and more. He was a subject I wanted to study and capture over and over, as a fan and as a friend, each shoot a different experience. It was the most heavy, complicated and excruciatingly beautiful project I’ve ever poured my heart into where we were both vulnerable at all times. The result is an extensive and poignant study of an extraordinary artist.”
