The light of the chandelier overhead slowly dims while the velvety ruby curtains drag their weight to either side of the stage, slowly opening to reveal…

In his photographs, Andrew becomes the director, the actors, the stagehands and set designers, he is the orchestra, the ushers and the audience all at once, living out his stories as truths.

Each time I view his work some part of me feels that I have slipped inside the head of a boy, to view the playful and colorful picture show of an active imagination.  And, like a fly on the wall I have gone unnoticed, avoiding the possibility of stirring the momentum of an unbridled personal security, the one that usually lives only within our heads.
