portrait
My camera allows me to look at things closely;
the statements I can make are limitless.

It is in the ordinary that my lens seeks out the extraordinary.
Political observations, reduced to be subjective, human relations discovered,
and edges in the polemics of space scrutinized. And enlarged.

To capture the essence is to do more than just survive.

I'm not sure how many negatives I've amassed over the past 30 years but,
for me, every day begins life.

I'd like to live forever.

Len Gelstein, 1995
