"I don’t believe in love at first sight but I do believe in seeing someone from across the room and knowing instantly that they’re going to matter to you. They’re going to play a major role in your life."

"We saw stars, And waves; we saw sand too;

And, despite many crisis and unforeseen disasters

We were often bored, just as we are here."

Charles Baudelaire

"Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

These are words to live by.

I love the colours in Kodak Ektar! And it’s so nice to be home and shooting with my Minolta SRT-101 again. Unfortunately that thing was just too heavy duty (emphasis on the heavy) to go traveling with me!

On Photography

John Ruskin was a painter/writer from the 19th century - born in London in 1819. During his life he worked to teach people how to draw and paint, he was astonished that literacy was something that the general masses were expected to learn but that drawing was not. He told a Royal Commission into drawing that his ‘efforts are directed not at making a carpenter an artist, but to making him happier as a carpenter.’ He discussed and researched beauty, and how we can possess the beauty of places. He wrote so many inspiring things about beauty, and art, and how we see, experience and possess it, but I particularly enjoyed this: ”drawing could teach us to see: to notice rather than to look.”

This is what photography is to me. I have said before: ‘I travel to experience beauty, and I photograph to capture it’. Photography is a way of experiencing a place in a whole different way. Exploring all the parts that you may not have noticed otherwise, discovering what exactly makes it interesting, or beautiful, or captivating, or whatever adjective you wish to use. It’s not always about the end result, it’s about the moment, the time spent walking a place you may have walked before, and looking at it differently, examining the shadows, and how this place, which is essentially static, can change with the seasons, time of day, the light.

"There is only one way to possess beauty properly and that is through understanding it, through making ourselves conscious of the factors that are responsible for it."

John Ruskin

"Beard: sign of strength. Too much beard causes baldness. Helps to protect ties."

"I felt I was on fire with the things I could’ve told you. I just assumed you eventually would ask."

I always hide things like this because I am my own worst critic and can nitpick any of my recordings apart in eight measures or less. I have worked hours, weeks on songs that I never played for a single human being and these days, I’m not really sure what the problem was. Life is too short to hide the  things that make you who you are because they’re imperfect. Imperfection might actually be the dumbest reason I’ve ever heard not to share something you found joy in doing or making. That’s the conclusion I’ve reached.

What’s it like being pretty?
I don’t know. This is the only way I’ve ever looked.
I think people treat you nicer when you’re pretty.
Why would you say that?
Cause you’re never nice to me.
