Visual Assault

I see a lot of strange things go down at shows and in the pit but one that I can say for certain im not sure if I will ever see again is the club owner loosing his checkbook while spin kicking in the pit.

Freedom

I find that the photos I shoot on film have a sort of lonely feeling to them. Lonely in the way that the memory is captured visually but in your mind the exact moment can feel a bit hazy. I think that is what gives the medium it’s charm. The captured light remains of a memory slowly forgotten. Like in old photographs when you see people but they are not who they are now it’s just the remnants of what they used to be.

Feeling Lost

08/29/2022

I am a frequent viewer of photographers websites. I believe it is a way to get inspired that feels more professional and more personal than Instagram or other forms of social media. It reminds me of early internet where you would discover peoples photography collections and discover someone new. These discoveries usually came few and far between but sometimes someone like Mike Brodie and his work A Period Of Juvinille Prosperity circulates the photo blogs and little kids like me discover it and feel the need to explore the fringes of the world and pursue photography.

Honestly though it’s Jason Lee who inspired me to release a journal on my website and do some sort of blog style posting. His work capturing America and the fading figures of human built structures brings me an immense amount of wanderlust and drive to get out and shoot. I think I relate a lot with his way of seeing the world because I too am a skateboarder and I believe we have grown up looking at the world in a different way.

I am doing this for myself because I like the idea of practice and I think it is a fun way to show more diversity in my work and to write about what it means to me and why the photos were taken in the first place, that is if there is a reason. Sometimes it is enough just to shoot for fun.

Sometimes feeling lost is the best thing for my photography. I feel like it’s always been an inspiration to me to head out on open roads to small towns and most importantly vast desert landscapes that feel barren and seem to go on forever. Those places are where I feel most spiritually connected with art and almost every time without doubt I feel refreshed and spiritually charged to pursue more photography endeavors.
