The Urban Context has its role in defining the foci of your photographs. The subject and context constantly question each other in times , space, texture, etc.

Are you a very visual, visceral person when it comes to noticing these…are they spontaneous discoveries or do you seek them? Maybe think about them and conjure up scenarios? How do these seemingly disparate worlds find themselves either embracing each other or tearing each other apart?

From your few short essays on today’s youth or great architectural pieces like the Taj Mahal, I can’t help sensing a bit of criticality regarding this change ..this change between the past & present and of course a quite subliminal trepidation about the future state of society & culture.”
