Mo Costello: On Photography

When did you become interested in photography? As a child I would make long and elaborate written records of everything including the neighbors activities. I would transcribe conversations on the radio and dictate televised baseball games. When I was somewhat older I was given a tape recorder, which was useful until I received a 35mm from my uncle and a copy of The Americans. Why photography? I am deeply committed to photography. My introduction to the medium was in the form of books. Books with which I would spend hours reading and rereading in repetition. A form which allows for both obsession and intimacy and in turn likely fostered within me feelings of fanaticism. What are you currently working on? Until a few months ago, I was a proud owner of a 86 Honda Civic Hatchback. I had gone so far as to remove all the seats and in their place built a modest bed and make shift book case. Recently, I removed the bed, returned the seats, sold the car for a very small amount of money and purchased a much larger van. When I am not on the road making pictures, I am in my studio - a small box constructed of sheet rock, plywood and bits of cardboard. For several months now, this has been the site of a body of work entitled There Will Be Live Dancers, a series of photographs, drawings and sculptures which concern the life of Maximileous Amores and his personal struggle with heroin, mental instability and violence. This work has informed an ongoing dialogue and collaboration with friend and photographer Raymond Meeks.
