“In all my images, I look for a serenity and solitude that reminds me of my dad, John Register (1939-1996). I don’t look for images that are quintessentially “John Register” paintings. It’s more of a by-product of being his son and loving his work. People ask me if it’s hard living in the shadow of a famous painter and the truth is, no, it’s not hard at all. I love his images - I love his shadows - they are everywhere and they remind me of him. I just wish we could walk around desert towns taking pictures together – what a blast that would be.”
