Installing and testing the system for next week’s exhibition. Opening Saturday, 22 August at 12:00. A great day spent solving problems, building spaces, and working alongside Axel Rios.

As this year and the magic of its journey come to a close, I want to wish you a warm season shaped by memories and care for one another. In moments that ask us to part, I hope we keep choosing to stay human, together. Safe travels, home. #photography

Staying True to a Central ‘Truth’ in Photography

With the town’s budget due next week, this scan from the project reflects a scar in local lore: a space once intended to be a public swimming pool, now facing uncertain times. #photography

After last week’s post on duality, I’ve been drawn to how layout choices can carry a quiet pull. Working with partial bleeds, I find myself resisting the urge to lock the edit into structure, while still keeping the image held in place. The edges can guide the reading, shifting the weight on a page.

Standing before a fence, I think about the duality of man. Two surfaces differ, yet both draw the eye toward the space between them. The greys shift, and what once felt solid begins to soften at the edges. #photography

I thought it would be fun to try something different. Instead of single posts, I’ll share a short series from one film roll. It’s an interesting exercise, trying to edit a narrative of tension within the limits of 36 frames. I’m searching to connects valleys and peaks within those boundaries.

Flakse: a Norwegian word for the gentle flutter of wings, a brief movement that disturbs still air. It is how space shifts, how light adjusts, how small moments can carry the weight of our times. Within frames, we try to hold these quiet shifts, shaping how we see. #photography

Reflecting on this corner, to challenge the fixed. The road bends toward the cruise port and the old shipyard, now a staging ground for oil and gas platforms. Once, ships were built here. The landscape has changed, but the rhythm remains. It is where the town meets the deep dark coldness of the sea.

Working through contact sheets makes time visible. Each frame carries not only light but also the experience between capture and return. Editing becomes a part of listening to the delay, where distance settles into memory and attention enhances what remains. #photography

Working back through a body of work is a quiet act of rediscovery. Photographs once seen as fragments begin to connect, forming a thread between what was felt in the moment and what is framed within the edit. #photography

With Storm Amy battering the windows and tugging at the roof, we brace for winter. The house tightens, sounds sharpen, and a colder light redraws routes we thought familiar. #photography

A barely visible lonely figure walks the frame, dissolving into darkness. The town bends around us and the ordinary street takes on a quiet sense of a story to explore. #photography

Structures hold our lives. They give form to imagination and memory. Spaces surround us, so familiar they almost fade. Yet when an edit of photographs isolates them, even the most ordinary surface can carry meaning and invite a fragment of narrative. #photography

While working on this project I have been thinking about how we form and define our spaces. As photographers, our position and the frame we choose inform the elements of a narrative.

Structures do more than hold weight. They frame how we move, live, imagine. A bridge is more than infrastructure. It offers passage while creating distance, and beneath its span life adapts. Gardens press against concrete and routines unfold in its shelter. A space of memory lingers under the arch.

Trying to open my perspective this week. Experiences beyond photography shape how we see and naturally flow back into the work. The peaks and valleys of life guide our attention, influence what we notice, and determine what we choose to frame. #photography

Composition in #photography can mirror the structures of the world. Both frame our view, guide our movements, and suggest meaning. Just as a sequence of images rises and falls, the fabric we build shapes the rhythm of life and place.

There is always a mixed feeling when thinking about what value springs from posting the day-to-day of visual ramblings. Do the images matter if they are only part of the audience of process? Each image will always stand on the one before, where growth comes from the edit, not the post. #photography

Lately I have been thinking about structure. Both in how we frame a single image and how images connect into a larger narrative. Why do we create these spaces, and from where does the impulse to frame them rise? Why this angle and this light? #photography

1 more backer takes us over 96% Then maybe just 9 more and we reach full funding! Today? Tomorrow? Trying to avoid 'spamming' my email list with another mail out so doing it here instead :)) Rewards include signed books & prints, mentoring and add-ons. And you name in the book! shorturl.at/MgbKh

Last day of summer vacation. Heading back to work has me thinking about a broader structure for my ongoing project. Looking at these buildings in a small town, I keep returning to the idea of The Work and how labor shapes space, community, and identity. #photography
