Ricochet: Are You Famous?

Description:

If I get you on videotape, we can both pretend you are

With a good distance between me and these famous people, I hold a camera steadily to capture their video images. Now they're mine! I can post their images, and perhaps the big tabloids will pay me huge money to print the images and report extraordinary stories about them. After all, these people are famous! (And I'm not, but maybe if I have touched their fame!)

The concept for the video series, "Ricochet: Thought to Idea," is pretty simple. I shoot images and match them with my spoken-word pieces: funny stories about something that really happened, or an abstract concoction of things that bounce through my mind. They're little art videos that make you think. (By the way, what are you thinking right now?)
