My Blog:

This is where I step back and reflect on the process of photography. It may seem very solipsistic to write about the process. These insights are more for the author to make time and space for considering if perhaps the time is well spent. Like many endeavours that are a labor of love, the more laborious (and commercial) my hobby has become, the more difficult it is to keep to it. The more gear I acquire, the more it seems like the project is acquiring the gear than it is taking photographs. I hope that my work is appreciated, but to have someone pay me for what is my gift now feels like self-justification. Perhaps offering the pictures I like to take “for sale” is the hardest part. But it may be the only way I can sustain my habit and my hobby…even if that hobby is just being a gearhead.

Not my words

February 16, 2016

“You don't take a photograph, you make it.”

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”

“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.”

- Ansel Adams
