“I like to be able to step back in different ways, and acknowledge the limitations of the medium, pick up on certain aspects of so-called reality, of fragments of reality that I am paying attention to. Through the medium I try to articulate certain things that I sense are taking place, forces. Sometimes the movement of a camera will articulate something that the image itself might not.” ~ Ernie Gehr
