the artist's statement

My landscapes find me on the streets of the city, I started out thinking that I found them but came to realize that the opposite is true–I know that I am not the first to come to this realization, but I came to it directly. It's a very personal process, but trusting that the images will find me means that I don't have to worry about being unique or clever. Don't have to worry about inspiration. Just keep walking and seeing. Trusting. And in the digital darkroom, I get to create with gifts my camera has recorded. Trusting my tools and my instincts. Trusting the freedom to create....

Peter accepts commissions for portraits. He shoots in natural light–in a place where you are comfortable.
