My passion for fire hydrants came over me suddenly; it was never just a passing fancy. It has become an integral part of my life.

Often met with a smile because of my interest in an object whose aesthetics divide opinion, I remain steadfast in my boundless enthusiasm for this lump of metal, though the focus is not on the technical object itself, but on its surroundings. The hydrant becomes part of my everyday studies, one of many small details that find their way into the photograph. The result is a credo for the supporting actor in many imagined film concepts, left to the viewer’s imagination.
