I grew up in newspapers. I learned my photography in newspapers. But with those lessons came rules and boundaries. I had placed myself in this proverbial box dictated by the hierarchy of gatekeepers who think they know what the readership wants to consume. The very same are now watching their newspapers fall apart because change was not on the menu.

But you couldn’t tell me this. It was obvious, especially now when I look at my work. So structured. I hate it. I have to fight against the structure still. The cleanliness of the frame is like an infestation of termites. You don’t always notice it until it is ruined.
