Frank A. Mills: Photography | Photojournalism

I. Varicose Ribbons | Vanishing America

To travel the varicose ribbons of macadam and cement and record, and perhaps offer social commentary, vanishing America is my quest. Read "Varicose Ribbons" to learn more of my quest.

II. Unraveling the Mystery ... For me, photography is about unraveling the mystery, the story that is inherent in each scene. As such it a tool of reflection and social transformation.

There are two types of photographers: those who strive for technical perfection, who seek only the award-winning shot, and those who seek to unravel the mystery – the layers of stories – within a single photo.

Each subject – people, buildings, environment – has an uniquely personal story to tell. It needs to be coaxed and caressed into reveling its deepest intimate, closely held secrets. There must be a passionate relationship between the subject and the photographer, like two lovers. As the lover must ask, so must the photographer, “Am I worthy to be entrusted with this intimacy? Or am I allowing my own personal agendas, my own desires, to get in the way of the relationship?”

Each time I put the camera to my eye, I ask myself, “Which photographer am I?
