"As a filmmaker who also shoots photographs, I try to document an event while it happens, not as one moment, but more from a cumulative standpoint. The concept of stories evolving over time is very important to me. In fact, many of my images are comprised of multiple photographs taken over the course of hours or even days. Others photographs capture a single moment from different vantage points. In this way I both compress and explode time.
"After shooting, I go into my "editing room" and build my story, which often takes the form of writing. This began, incidentally, as a personal record, a way for me to remember phrases overheard while I was shooting or specific cultural data, but lately the stories people tell me have become a major part of the work." - Douglas Gayeton
