“my approach is rather simple: I record on film what I see and feel as I travel through life. Although my photographs have been taken all over the world, theres a consistency to the imagery due to the manipulation of both the film’s negative and of the prints surface. I consider my images to be illustrations of my conscious (and perhaps subconscious) dreams, emotions, and longings. Many of the images explore positive and negative realities that inhabit dreamlike settings. When I shoot these images, they’re usually not premeditated or contrived, I simply take my camera with me wherever I go and try to remain open to whatever life shoves, or gently places in front of me. When I’m shooting, I look for images which tell a story, or provide some element of a dramatic narrative. Of course, sometimes it’s a matter of being swept away by the haunting beauty of nature, which provides constant inspiration and solace. If I am sad or depressed or melancholy, I can wander somewhere with my camera and usually turn my mood around by stumbling upon something unexpected and wonderful.” Rocky Schenck
