Dailies

“The observer is the image looking at the image which he has created about the other. So the relationship between the observer and the observed is not a relationship. It is two images looking at each other.” J. Krishnamurti. Excerpt from “The Real Revolution” – Part 2.

“Photography has almost no reality; it is almost 100% image. And painting always has reality: you can touch the painting; it has presence, but it always gives an image…”

Gerard Richter

The Dailies is a series of photographs nourished by the daily production of monotypes—acrylic or oil on National Geographic magazine pages—during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The term “dailies” comes from the unedited footage of a movie production that is collected at the end of each day for viewing by select above-the-line members of the film crew.

Watching the day’s raw footage allows the creative team to assess the progress and quality of the shoot so they can adjust their plans going forward.
