Man at Crossroads Photograph - Limited Edition of 3

I first encountered Giacometti's "Walking Man" during a college class on European history and later saw the sculpture at MoMA in NYC. I vividly recall visiting the exhibition's closing day, arriving an hour before closing just to stand before "Walking Man." Like Jerry Saltz, the NY Mag art critic, describes how artists view art, I circled it slowly, observing the impressionistic details from a distance and examining Giacometti's sculptural brushstrokes up close. As I lost myself in this moment, a vigilant guard cautiously approached, concerned by my proximity. I smiled, aware of my manners, and put him at ease. In that bronze figure, I saw a man emerging from the horrors of war, walking out of bombed cities and Holocaust chambers, out of the fog of conflict. Today, I'm deeply drawn to capturing people on the streets with my camera and lens because they are real individuals with names and unique lives, not "representational art.". Looking closely at this photograph, I realize that part of the painterly quality I aimed for was to make the face unrecognizable, belonging to an unknown person. And then there's the stride of this man. I once photographed models on fashion runways, practicing to anticipate the split-second when their feet would transition into a full step, capturing the essence of their movement. This is why you'll often find a sense of motion in my subjects. A thousand years from now, a viewer might ponder what it meant to be this man with a red tie and a small brown bag in his left hand, walking across the threshold of time and out of my photograph into their world, which our generation can hardly fathom. A thousand years ago, he might have marched into battle clad in heavy armor against a thousand unarmored foes. Where will this man be in a millennium? What will he wear, do, and think of himself? Will he endure the ages? Dear future owner of this work, please guess the title reference. Here's a hint: "I paint what I see."
