I'm going to try to get back into the habit of leaving my thoughts here.
However, if you don't care to listen to my banter, I started a tumblr.
More photos, less words.

Lots of new work.
Coming soon. 
But until then, a thought that found me recently, and has yet to leave my mind since.

"As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge."

quatre-vingt-un: This Is Happening

February and March 2012
Salt Lake City, Utah

This is what my life has looked like as of late.
Girlfriends.
And photobooth.
And spandex.
And lookalikes.
And concerts.
And fingernails.
And trees.
And headstands.
And good weather.
And flowers.

Oh.
And this.

you are doing the impossible.

soxiante-dix-sept: Some Sort Of Magic Happens

Holga
Kodak Tri-X
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
September 2011

     This has to be one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. Tri-X has a way of making this world appear even more beautiful than it is - if that's possible. How does photography do this? I've been reminded of it's mystery over and over since beginning my Darkroom Photography class this month. Yes, I understand that it's pure science, but I have to believe that somewhere in between the camera taking in the light of a moment and the chemicals reproducing it in negative form, some sort of magic happens.
