Perception Series 
The books in this series are about the creation and perception of photographs.
Two books treat the use of photographs in the creation of visual narrative.



    Light Time Space
Photography exists due to three fundamental physical phenomena: Light, Time and Space. The images in this book express the essential relavance of these fundamentals. The texts discuss, in depth, what these physical phemonena are and how they are related to photography.
 

 
    Albedo, Syzygy, Dark Matter
These three terms taken from astronomy are used as metaphores for discussion of peculiarities of photographic image making
 

 
   
    Tactile
Although we obtain the vast amount of our knowledge of the environment and the universe by transmission of light, it is essential that we gain embodied knowledge of the 'world' through touch. The ability to express tactile qualities in images is what makes them relevant.
 


 
   
    What does this say?
We glance at thousands of images each day, but do we really concider what they mean. Photographs require careful scrutiny for understanding! Here is a discussion about how we determine the meaning of images.
 

 
   
  II wonder...
How often do we see images that leave us ambivalent about what they mean, about what is or has happened at the moment of exposure? The images and texts in this book discus why this occurs and what one must do to understand the meaning of enigmatic images.
 


 
   
    Dyads
Two images presented in close proximity, as in a page spread in a book, can create new meaning that goes beyond the meaning each image provides. This book explores the use of dyads, their creation and the phenomena that provide new meaning.
 

 
    Sequences
Effective photo books use various devices to form and project visual narrative. The selection and ordering of images in sequences can create visual phrase and 'sentences'. Image Dyads form basic building blocks and various layout and graphic forms can provide visual punctuation. Visual rhythm and tempo can provide emotional effects..
