My journey through time decorates the walls of my study. The oldest, documenting the first two hundred years or so, are all sketches and paintings, collected during my solitary travels across Europe.
Daguerreotypes, ethereal as butterfly wings, glass protecting their reflected images. Old photographs offer ghostly landscapes in black and white. One of me, Paris, 1852. No subject has ever sat so still for his portrait. Alone.
As valuable as these pieces are from an historical perspective, far more dear to me are the simple photographs from the last ninety years. Gone is the loneliness, replaced by friendship, family, love.
