In the early morning, the light is clean and delicate, and it reveals things that will later become hidden the rest of the day. I go out early for long walks, looking and listening. Images appear suddenly, a passing glance out of the corner of the eye. It feels like stumbling on some ancient artifact — a surprising discovery, a gift. Mexico is full of these artifacts, traces of the past eroded over time and slowly obscured by what has followed. They are markers of cultural meaning, made visible in anonymous and unforeseen ways as if in gaps left open in the layers of past and present.

JEFFREY LOVE received a BFA in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1977 and practiced fine art photography for a decade, working primarily with black and white film, medium format cameras and a 5x7 view camera. During this time, he also worked in the museum, gallery, and picture framing fields. Over the past five years, he’s devoted much of his time to making photographs, primarily on Cape Cod and in Mexico.
