35mm BW - October 2002

Photo Info

This image is from a stairwell in one of the parking garages at SMU. On restless college nights of boredom, I would go out and photograph around campus at night. I couldn't tell you where exactly I photographed this. It was before I owned a tripod and I steadied the camera on the handrail.

The British photographer Michael Kenna came to our school and myself and a few others had a personal critique with him. I had very little to show except some early gum prints and nothing too spectacular from the darkroom. This image, however, he found to be most intriguing of all my work. I have often wondered why he put such a huge stamp of approval upon it?
