breathe in, breathe out
What I am trying to say is
I want this prayer to become
as automatic as breathing–
each exhale, prayer.
Each inhale, gratefulness.
—Revised, after Andrea Gibson, by Paula Gordon Lepp
Finding My Way
I do not want to be known through a handful of images, carefully cropped. I am so much more than any one project, any one period of time or series of subjects that happened to photograph well. I don’t have a “signature style.” What I do have is my very own temperament. The way that I respond and relate within my place in the world. My creative work is about what I edit and what I allow to remain unresolved. Things shift, and contradict one another, and sometimes refuse to settle. It’s all evidence of attention.
Good Design
Side by side, the images tell the story. The same architectural bones.
All playful, colorful, useful, and really good designs. But a different current moving through them.
The four pillars of good design: functionality, reliability, usability, and aesthetics
Spacing
The secret isn’t better subjects. It’s better relationships.
Rough next to polished. Wood next to metal. The satisfying imbalance that keeps us leaning in. Close enough to love each other. Far enough apart to breathe.
