“It is a blessing to be alive and see such beauty”

I’ve been taking photographs for over 15 years. I don’t shoot thematically; consciously looking for something to photograph drains the subject’s power for me (though I know some would argue the opposite, perhaps even myself on occasion). However, I will splurge sometimes, just enough to satisfy a craving but not enough to consider it documentation. I enjoy editing, finding ways of structuring a series of photographs while avoiding one line of interpretation. I think these nine photographs hold together in sequence well. I photograph balance – in subject matter or in form. I photograph quiet, which is inherent to balance. I photograph people but mostly through their absence. Every moment with a camera is mindfulness meditation. It is a blessing to be alive and see such beauty.
