“Inflated”, Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, USA.

Destined Ethnography – (this is my history) is a photographic essay observing the last five years of my travels as a photographer. The portfolio depicts the visual experience of these travels—not as a travelogue but as an abstraction of the environments I have passed through.

The work conveys a photographic expression of my world and my emotions during the journey. The images depict my state of mind and the language of my emotions.

The compositions come when I am at my psychological and physical extremes, conditions that play on the senses and evoke a visual language using form, color and line. In a daydream-like stasis, the environments that surround me take on a new light. A visualization of the subject emerges almost as non-representational and verging on abstract. It is at this moment that the composition is complete.

These extraordinary images are captured in a straightforward manner; there’s no contrived theme, there’s no documentary and there’s no planning – there is just spontaneity and the moment.

These photographs form part of my destiny through my conscious decisions; the journey has a narrative and the subjects of the compositions have their own stories as well, but it is the abstract expressions of my visualizations that I am photographing.

The series is also a photographic ethnography of my travels conveying a visualization of my view of the global village based on my experiences within my own personal culture and community. It’s a depiction of my descent through cultures and communities, exposing abstracted forms composed of the environments that surround me.
