The Last Oak

Trees have always entranced me. They are, to me, as sentient and alive as any human. ~ Vincent

Slugline

Everything is fascinating. I don't know. You can look at something a hundred times and still never see it. ~ Vincent

Growth

The earth abides.

Eggshell

This has become sort of my signature image. An open hand, a startling discovery. If I could I'd make it my tattoo. ~ Vincent

Tree of Life

The Chinatown Y

The Bathwater

Matter

Artist

Serendipity is everything. I have no vision. I'm like a hunter in a blind, waiting. ~ Vincent

Mount Burdell

The Gondolier

It's like a dream, Venice. What madness drove those people to build a city in the water on a network of wooden wooden piers? ~ Vincent

Two Women by the Sea

Evo

The stain of humanity. The grit, the stink. Decay. Order. Chaos. The arrogance of straight lines and then to see them crumble. ~ Vincent

Oil Drum Reflection

Apparently even oil drums have dreams ~ Vincent

The Tiny King of Greenland

I started thinking about little people. Scale model figures for trains. I wanted to take them out of that world and put them in the real one to see what they might say. ~ Vincent

Road Wing

You can't make this stuff up. I don't. The more photographs I take the more I understand synchronicity. This was right about the time I lost my wings. ~ Vincent

Primordial

It's the rear window of an old pick-up shot up with bullet holes. But it's also a diatom floating in a primordial pool. ~ Vincent

Stark

The illusion is this: That we're all separate and special, that spirit respects the boundary of skin. ~ Vincent

The Horseman

How many times have YOU passed GO? ~ Vincent

Bat Ray Mud Hole

Sometimes I cannot believe my eyes. Even a picture is no proof. Did this actually happen? ~ Vincent

It's a form of touch, photography, and it can be intimate. But sometimes I have to remember to put down the camera and reach out too. ~ Vincent

The Drunken Boat

If it's utilitarian and discarded, I fall in love with it. Because I cannot take it home, I borrow its reflection. ~ Vincent

Obsolescence

I'm drawn to anything made of iron. Of metal. A Chevy truck is like a decaying temple. It still holds its promise after all these years. ~ Vincent

Tidal Treasures

The closer you get, the more you see. Photography is like being a scientist without having to explain anything. ~ Vincent

The Seismograph

I started to see it as a waveform, like a digital map of a song or a sound. And I thought, this is like light's echo. ~ Vincent

The Old Bottle

So the Little People became this thing. I carried them in my pocket like passengers and I was always on the lookout for some predicament to put them in. ~ Vincent

From the Ground Up

But trees also terrify me. So I guess this is a way of dealing with that. Of confronting it. ~ Vincent

Three Marys

Joshua Tree is haunted by the ghost of some great cataclysm. Just look at the rocks there. They made me weep. ~ Vincent

Storm Loss

People say I'm obsessed with death but I'm actually obsessed with life. I don't believe in death. Bodies are vehicles we step in and out of like taxi cabs. ~ Vincent

The Supplicant

It was in Venice, and it was one of those moments when I just raised the camera as I passed and shot and it was perfect. ~ Vincent

Sycamore, Pruned

It didn't look real when I saw it. It appeared to be an illustration. Sometimes I need the camera in order to prove that I saw what I saw. ~ Vincent

Lost

I guess I see them as a metaphor. Where are we now and where are we going? ~ Vincent

Wind River Junction

In nature there are no right angles. I've always loved that axiom, and I'm drawn to curves again and again. - Vincent

The Q

Kelp can dry in such amazing formations. I was born in the year of the serpent. That's how I see these. ~ Vincent

Petra Dermis

Fractal geometry of lines and cracks on the surface of a stone. It's like an alphabet, a hieroglyphic. There's no Rosetta Stone for this. ~ Vincent
