Dead Stock, Singed, very good condition
I have never learnt the academic theory regarding photography as a record, even through experience, but was aware of the meaning and importance of documentation on a hunch. Whenever I came to something that I felt the need to record, I would travel across the country to do so at all costs. Before I knew it 10 years had past, and although with a narrow range of vision and subjects, I have records of incidents from the time, and as I compare these images I get a sense of a fragment of the transitions of the world over time. This series is merely a small record of what I have taken in that manner as a single cameraman of a small community
