<p>Richard Dachtera is a fourth-generation New Yorker who grew up two blocks from the ocean in Rockaway, Queens. His photographs concern dislocation and the way perception shifts under pressure. The moment when a familiar place tips a few degrees and becomes something else. He believes some images exist before they are taken, that arriving at a specific time and place is less an act of creation than of retrieval.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Rich:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/richdachtera/</p><p>https://www.richdachtera.com/</p><p><br></p><p>This series of interviews is entirely self-produced and self-funded, and would not be possible without the generosity of guests’ time and willingness to participate.
