The Bigger Picture

There are many things to learn. The point of the arts isn’t to make a living doing art. Instead, if done well, we’ll witness the lived reality of the person making something become more widely known.

Am I working on photography, or is it working on me? The weird thing is that if you practice it well, someone else will walk up and take a nearly identical picture, allowing you to look over and say hello.

Change brings tradeoffs. There are no perfect options, and the sooner we accept this, the happier we’ll feel.

There’s a side of photography that happens before we take a picture and another that comes later, and sometimes if we’re lucky, we’ll be in the moment.
