In the very end, civilizations perish because they listen to their politicians and not to their poets – Jonas Mekas

We’re living a troubling, dystopian piece of time right now. An ugly, growing stain is spreading across our country’s history, it’s reputation, the principles it was founded on. Where will it lead? Will we clean it up? Time will tell. But, lest we forget in all the chaos, this, the wild, matters too. Let’s not lose sight of that.
To my mind you never ‘arrive’ when it comes to photography. You’re always moving in one direction or another – sometimes forward, sometimes back, sometimes you take a circuitous sidetrack that leaves you wondering what the hell that was.
I think the most important thing is to work with the attitude ‘what if…’. You try things to find out. If it doesn’t work you’ll know it. If it has possibilities you’ll know that too. It’s all practice.
