17-5½, Hastings Building, 2007
At heart, I've always been a minimalist, although I don't believe that photography — with its power to render the subvisible detail — can truly be a minimalist's medium. Be that as it may, I'm habitually attracted to images that simplify our complex world — but not dumb it down. I guess I prefer a certain complexity in my simplicity! I prefer clarity rather than clutter, a distilled essence to an over-indulgent inclusion, quiet photographs as compared to raucus ones. Considering the crack, the smaller crack, the wall plug, the pencil mark, the stain, the wallpaper pattern, the dual plaster tape lines, and the molding, this can't really be called a minimalist photograph. Clearly, it is not a busy one either. Minimalist will have to do.
