Truth & Grace in Hamtramck

“An artist friend said she no longer uses the word beauty, the meaning had become too diluted to be useful. I don’t want to give up beauty. Plato, Kant, Nietzsche and poets throughout time have written about it, what a shame if I have to discard it. They all mention that for beauty to make an appearance, truth must be an ingredient. I can never claim my photographs reveal some universal truth, it’s what I saw and felt about the subject when the picture was made and grace occasionally intervenes.”
