My approach to photography has always been that of the flâneur, the wanderer open to the unexpected. These photographs are a record of some things I have seen since I first began to use the camera as a framing tool in 1970. Some of the images are accidental, fortuitous shots taken in my travels, places I have seen that have left a deep and lasting impression. Others are a documentary record of friends or people of whom I retain meaningful memories. They cover leitmotifs that have been of central interest to me during the last five decades, such as solitude in the urban landscape, the relationship between people and the impact of mankind on the natural world. The enduring human imprint on the landscape and the complex relationship between civilisation, architecture and territory offer a visual interpretation of how settlements, constructions, and their remains slowly integrate into the topography, becoming an inseparable part of the natural environment. Architectural forms emerge as volumes shaped by time and act as transformative agents that continually redefine their presence in the landscape.
