Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it.”

– Jasper Johns

I first read Johns’ words at one of his exhibitions, in Köln, in the late 1990s and, over the years, it has come to represent more than ever the way I see my photography. I often find the pictures inside my photographs days, sometimes weeks, after I have shot them.
