Michael Lundgren and Working Intuitively

How do you approach working on a series? Is there an idea, or do you have images and then develop the series? How do you find the photographs for your series?

I’m a follower of the Nathan Lyons’ school of photography.  In this tradition, photography, is ideographic; photography is its own language.  A body of work developed over time deals with associations from picture to picture.  By working intuitively (making photographs, digesting them, going out to make more), one allows meaning to develop and be sustained by the pictures themselves, rather than imposing a pre-formulated idea or continuity of subject matter, I’m drawn to make certain photographs, yet I never know what I’m going to photograph next.
