The lightness of being is a condition of the everyday and part of the theatre of photography. In photography the quality of light is a measure of the transient, fragile and weightless nature of the medium.

The images from Lightness have a sense of movement that comes from the flow of the street. The shifting fragments of what we see and the changing relationships to our point of view.

The participation of the people in these photographs is from spontaneous encounters on the street. The lightness of the city is matched by the lightness of youth, and the weight of the image is balanced with the weight of being.
