Amongst the complications of the
modern World, of the push and pull of forces internal and external to
us, is a space...
In this space,
Vinnie places his camera.
The Camera, as well
as being a sanctuary,
away from the push and pull, is a way for us to strip away the layers
of complication and to simplify the World, to lay it bare; to
immortalise a split second in time and to examine, critique, understand,
to not understand
and to admire.
Armed with only
the simplest tools of
photography – a 35mm SLR Camera and a bag load of film – Vinnie heads
out onto the street, the most dynamic and unpredictable studio
imaginable, and by living in the moment, aims to produce images that
capture a sense of Place – of People and their Space – and to connect in
some way with the viewer of his work, and to show in photographs,
rather than words, through the lack of complications, how complicated
the World can sometimes be.
