Within each individual photograph of a place lies an ideal representation that is meaning to be represented.  This representation consists of a mix of ones own expectations and their desire to recreate the space, buffered by a barrier of reality that exists that places pressure upon the ideal.  Each individual seeks to remove this barrier, only including his or her own ideals within the frame.  This, however, is somewhat impossible, and the absurdity of representations becomes apparent: the place is not perfect – something, whatever it might be, is not as it should be.

The tourist place is in state of constant transformation, to which I refer to the momentary changes in a place from the point in which one person photographs it to when the next person takes a similar photograph.  The place is essentially the same, but the photograph is still slightly different.  If we had the ability to view these photographs in a linear fashion, from several photographers, as time progressed, it would become clear that there is no way to represent place in a definitive fashion. 

No single frame, nor a multitude of frames, could wholly represent the changes that occur within place.   For me the importance lies in capturing these places in a way that more closely resembles how they actually exist.  This of course, I realize, is quite  impossible.
