Gallery 291 at The Image Flow

"If I hold any convictions at all as a photographer, foremost among them would be the belief that there are pictures lurking everywhere. They are concealed and camouflaged in the landscape that surrounds us, whether urban, rural, wild, or cultivated. The trick is finding those pictures. It is all the more difficult because they are right in front of us all the time. My experience has taught me that when I allow myself to drift,  divorced from all my preferences, expectations, and judgments, my eye will settle on some familiar scene, never quite seen before." - Mark Citret
