Photographs By Kevin Irby
I have always been interested and concerned with the camera's ability to include or exclude. Alfred Stieglitz once spoke about a single photograph's inability to provide an accurate portrait of a person, insisting that this must be done over time and with multiple photographs.
It is easy to forget when viewing a single photograph that there was something happening, in real time, to the left and right of the frame, something that may dispel any myth created by that image.
In some instances this restrictive, controlled or manipulated nature can be the success, charm or strength of a photograph, leaving the viewer room to make up the rest of the story.
