Between the Notes

Music does not exist except in time. It is the sequence of sounds, one note flowing into the next, that turns noise into music. Photography is different. It plucks an image out of time and enlists that frozen moment to represent the life that flows behind and beyond it. These images are music between two notes, the intensity and focus of musicians in the instants within the music, the moment’s pause that captures the whole.
