Artist Statement

I make photographs because I never know if what I see is what someone else, in the same spot and during the same moment, might see as well.   As I continue to make photographs and share them with others I realize that my photographs depend as much on the viewer to supply the world.   The power of viewing a photograph comes when, paradoxically, the world depicted in it simultaneously diverges from and preserves the viewer's notions of how things are.

Professor Kolster also maintains a photoblog: The Daily Post »
