Ritual & Romance in Asia
“On these pages are ghosts of what I have seen.
In an instant these images are ripped out of
time and stripped of their context - the heady
incense of the forest, a rush of river water, the
jostle and energy of a crowd. But in this new
and mysterious state, these two-dimensional
spirits of people and places become greater than
they were, accepting silently as they do the
designs and interpretations that must be placed
upon them if we are to truly see our captives.
Whether we linger over the play of shadows on
a wall, wonder about someone’s expression,
or simply turn the pages in search of the new,
each minute we spend looking at one of these
photographs gives it a new life, and adds to the
colors of our consciousness.”
