ARTIST STATEMENT
Timelines can be overwhelming, and most memories fade. To hold onto cherished memories and create a preferred timeline, I purposefully capture my favorite moments with photographs. Each photograph that I produce is a thread that binds, a captured moment that catalogs an emotional, imaginative, or meaningful experience. 
 
The photographs in this exhibition explore local cityscapes and nearby parks and trees. My intention is to capture and manipulate moments in time to evoke emotions and create an interpretive narrative that strengthens viewers' connection with the places and things that they may encounter in everyday life.
 
I enjoy taking pictures while walking around town, hiking, or fishing in the countryside and wilderness areas. My favorite subjects to photograph are buildings, landscapes, and most things found in nature. 

BIO
Jesse was born and raised in Buffalo and lived briefly in Ithaca and Rochester, NY. He currently resides in West Seneca with his wife and two daughters.
 
McCabe has no formal or professional photography training. He developed his techniques and unique style through repetition and his enthusiasm for his subjects. 
 
A large number of McCabe’s photographs can be found on his Instagram site (@jesselmt). Several of these shared images were used by local and out-of-state tourism agencies. Recently his photo of Buffalo’s Erie Basin Marina was awarded 3rd place in Charles E. Burchfield Nature and Art Center’s Fall 2024 Photography Contest.
