Artist's Comments
some of the people i know: rachael
What began as an attempt to preserve memory in defiance of an ever-changing landscape of people has become an experiment in typology. Some of the People I (Don't) Know explores human interaction - the concepts of familiarity and intimacy. In photographing the gamut from people I know well to those I'm acquainted with, I examine my interactions with others, gaining new insight into these connections through an intuitive use of a toy camera. While we talk, frames are skipped, light is layered on film, some moments are isolated while others run together in multiple exposures. Interpretations of colour and light are altered by emotional reaction and become unique to the individual. No condition is perfectly duplicated from one shoot to the next. This series is approached without any inclination to reproduce what the eye sees, or strictly adhere to what the machine records; instead I want to translate subjects onto film closely to how the mind remembers a person. This is to say, largely affected by subjectivity; emotion and experience. The contact images are documents of conversation, of established rhythms and changing dynamics, while the selected portraits become visual manifestations of fleeting moments; profound and tenuous associations. While my presence is implicit in actions and reactions, only the subject is depicted, from this position, similar to mine when shooting, the viewer is left to interpret the nuances of the exchange; the distance between myself and subject, body language, laughter and silence. These portraits are suffused with the history of how we came to be associated; they are mnemonic devices which allow me to remember every interaction with the individual. The need to remember, to preserve memory, became the impetus to catalogue, in some way, to keep in check what cannot be controlled. Some of the People I (Don’t) Know is a visceral reaction to change, and a method of coping with the loss/gain inherent to it. Comments
 I really love the colors they are so fresh
but I wish I can see the picture a bit larger  -- The blood will run like ribbons through your hair I can see in darkness I'm the Overlord  Sing me a RainboW, Steal me a Dream . a thousand pigeons fall around her feet .  How big is this in real life?
It's so confusing and pretty. -- If I were human I believe my response would be "go to hell."... If I were human. 36x36 inches. (the series is printed that large, I haven't printed these yet, my lab is closed for the summer and I am also coincidentally poor.)
If you weren't poor before you would be after printing this series, yeowch.
 I've got a money saving idea, imaginary photos. The gallery is just blank walls with the little info cards here and there with all the details as if there was actually a photo on the wall. Some artists do abstract work and leave it up to the viewer to figure it out, this is just going one step further. What do ya think? -- If I were human I believe my response would be "go to hell."... If I were human.  Hahahaha
 nice- she's become a pattern
-- inspiration is the art of not-caring-what-other-people-think. with larger sizes comes the possibility of image theft. I don't like watermarks, so smaller it is. In reality, this series is printed 36x36 inches. I'm glad you like the colours! this is the first time I've done the contact sheets in colour, so it was something I tried to get right.
ah this is a contact!
ok now I understand why is so small the fact is that with the contact sheet by real it's wonderful even if it's so small but for the internet it's not the same thank you for your time I hope to see more soon  -- The blood will run like ribbons through your hair I can see in darkness I'm the Overlord Sing me a RainboW, Steal me a Dream . a thousand pigeons fall around her feet .  THat's really somethjing i could want on my wall in 1m * 1m ... Do you print it for shows ?
