id=\"caption-attachment-3917\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lean on Wall, 2012, photo by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Photography satisfies the ancient human instincts of hunting and gathering.\u00a0 Armed with specialized gear, photographers go out in search of their particular quarry, chasing after it or lying in wait for it.\u00a0 At just the right moment, with sure technique and trained reflexes, they shoot and they capture.\u00a0 Nailing the perfectly-timed shot of an epic sports moment, a stunning nature scene, an indelible image of war\u2019s horror, or a celebrity wardrobe malfunction is like bagging the big game.<\/p>\n<p>I lack the aggressiveness and the single-mindedness it takes to be a great hunter.\u00a0 I\u2019m more of a forager.\u00a0 I walk around the city a lot, and I usually carry a camera with me (a dedicated camera, not a phone).\u00a0 I rarely go looking for specific images; instead, I just go about my normal business and social life, constantly scanning the environment for the kinds of images that feed me.\u00a0 Usually, that means some combination of natural or cultural phenomena, contrasting forms, and striking effects of light.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think of myself as a Fine Art Photographer.\u00a0 I have no concern for reaching a pinnacle of craft or making a bold statement through this work.\u00a0 It is in my drawing practice that I am serious about constantly challenging myself.\u00a0 Photography is a more casual pursuit, a way of gathering impressions so I can study and contemplate on them later.\u00a0 The concern that unifies the drawing practice and the photography practice is an effort to hone and expand visual perception.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the fruits I gathered in my photographic foraging in New York City since the beginning of this year, presented in random order.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3918\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
