Wait and watch.

I choose and photograph vibrant and engaging public spaces a number of times from one vantage point as time passes and as the scene changes — the people and the space move, shift, and evolve.

By combining and overlaying the images, new images emerge that reveal the vitality of the space over time, showing how the space is engaged by the population. Unlike what can be captured with the classic single image, a public space is revealed to be filled with life, energy and memory. The experience of the single documentary instant is multiplied, letting the viewer feel the movement and change within the photograph, as if they were sitting there, taking in the scen themselves.
