I am fascinated by the purity of gesture in ‘frugal’ photography, with no optical barriers, no view-finder, no shutters or distances or heights and the equally pure but not at all frugal-on the contrary, clamorous-image reflected. Volumes and geometric perspectives take shape through a pencil mark made ‘transparent’ by a pinhole and, by looking ‘through’ it, an image with a peculiar ‘fidelity’ of its own may be seen.
