Christian Patterson - Sound Affects
My work is created through active exploration and discovery in my everyday life. I rely heavily on personal encounters that inspire a spontaneous photographic response. My inspiration begins with a certain unconscious familiarity, formed by a vague memory of past experiences, and shaped by an imagination and desire to empathize with my surroundings. I believe that a person, place, or thing can display a personality or show an emotion. A glowing neon sign, a mud puddle, or a passing cloud...each of these communicates human feeling. When I take a photograph, it is an understanding and acknowledgement of this.
