For most people photography is a device primarily used as a method of documentation, a means of recording specific physical moments in time, a way of remembering, people, places, situations and events that once happened.

In short photography records the passing of time.

For me photography is also method of documentation, not of my physical life and its surroundings but of my inner thoughts and ideas. The images I produce are representations of my imagination at specific moments in time recorded by me as a way of remembering thoughts and ideas I once had.

In short my photography records the passing of my imagination. The images contained within this exhibition can be split into two distinct categories; the first six images are a selection of random thoughts recorded by me on my travels into my imagination between June and August 2002. The remaining seven images are the product of one particular idea, which was expanded upon in September of 2002 to create a specific group of images titled Manikins.
