Just playing with light. My favorite pastime 🙃. .

I miss winter. It’s such beautiful, magical time of year. The juxtaposition between the death represented by the wildlife and the falling snow, the life blood of all living creatures in the form of a solid, is such a fascinating topic to me. The duality of nature doesn’t stop there either. Snow’s imagery of purity and innocence stands in spite of the withering foliage it consumes as if to unknowingly suffocate the misery and pain of the forsaken. .
It even lends itself to accidental homicide when blizzard conditions arise, analogous to a small child playing and having fun who takes something a little too far as they were unaware of the consequences of their own actions. That’s when the realization hits that the innocent and pure feel guilt on such a visceral level. But I digress...

I don’t know why I love this photo, I just do. Also, my breath looks like I’m expelling my soul in the shape of a heart. So, there’s your obligatory Valentine’s Day reference.

Experimental Subject.

Ever feel like the outside world treats you as if you’re a lab rat? Using your body and mind for selfish gain all the while acting as if your contributions are irrelevant? Manipulating every useful aspect of your persona until you question whether or not you even have anything left to offer? .
Not only does the external world exhaust me, when I return inward, I even treat myself like a specimen to examine. Holding myself hostage, crushed under the weight of my own unfulfilled ambitions. An out of body experience separates my analytical self from the broken and bound freak show struggling below. A morbid curiosity to see how I could possibly escape a seemingly hopeless situation. The only words I can hear, “dance monkey, dance”. How tragically pathetic. .

This is my homage to the large format landscape photographers of old. I was in the Adirondack Mountains earlier this month. I actually didn’t shoot that much and certainly not what I originally intended. Nevertheless, the whole trip was a great experience. I mostly challenged myself to shoot subject matter which I rarely create with. I took absolutely no portraits at all, despite wanting to at first. By the end of the trip I actually forgot I never even shot any portraits.
.
Oddly enough, the whole experience made me nostalgic for writing. I put most of my writing (editorials, tutorials, personal, etc) on hold over the last few months and seeing the beauty of the Adirondacks while spending so much time in nature made me yearn for another creative outlet that isn’t photography. I don’t know. I’m rambling at this point. Enjoy the photo 😝.

This photo is why I love street photography. So many moments pass by unnoticed in a busy city. There are limitless amounts of stories to be told lurking around every corner. Ghosts of the past, present and future collide with the hustle and bustle of the unaware masses as they pass by condemned buildings lying in ruin in opposition to the shiny new complex being built next door. Such beautiful analogies moving past you while you simultaneously pass by them. I’m just a lover of the streets, a lover of photography and a lover of life. Don’t let these moments pass you by on a daily basis without so much as a glance on your part. The beauty of life is limited. .

Sometimes things are not as they seem.

My love of abstract photography is almost as strong as my love of conceptual portraiture. It might be because I have an abstract way of approaching life. I don’t think practically. I can have a thought about the state of my failed attempt of a smoothie which then reminds me that I need to get my car inspected. It makes sense to me, but it’s about 5 steps removed from how most people would get from point a to point b. Instead of hopping in the car to drive to point b from a and enjoying some stops along the way, I start at point a then slip into a coma and conveniently wake up at point b. Does any of this even make sense to anyone else? I’m heavy handed on analogies for the same reason. Well, at least you can enjoy a badass photo even if I’ve failed to help you understand my thought process...
