Kerry Ellis

It began when I was two (or so I like to imagine, and it's my biography anyway), this obsession with stories. They were read to me until I could begin reading them myself, and then writing them myself, and then envisioning whole worlds and characters with a bit of light, make-up, and magic. "Show, don't tell" was one of those dried-up, antagonistic adages that shriveled up as hard as a bean in my mind, took root, then spread infectiously. Be it in my writing or my photography, I try not to be a storyteller, but a storyvisioner. (I think it sounds a bit pretentious, really, but it's certainly more accurate. Well, that, and it sounded better than storyshower...which is just a bit of a mouthful, to be honest.)
