“Seek out fragments. iPhone photography just feels elemental. Because there’s no complicated camera equipment involved, it breaks down walls between the photographer and subject by being uncomplicated and direct.
“For the first time, every step of the photographic process is self-contained in your pocket. That offers a compelling opportunity to react instantaneously and capture the world as we humans truly experience it — in fragments, pieces, little slivers that, assembled together, make up our reality.
“I look for opportunities to offer pieces of the world in unusual configurations that make people notice the everyday landscape around them. A disembodied foot coming into the frame, an oddly shaped piece of a glowing neon sign, wine glasses reflected on a tablecloth, translucent packets of sauce in a Chinese restaurant.
“By confronting people with familiar objects in unfamiliar — and incomplete — contexts, I try to make them think for a moment before the light bulb goes on. Then, in the best-case scenario, their brains will say: ‘Wow. I never thought of that.’ And the more we notice the world around us in all of its miniature geniuses, the better off we are.”
