I grew up with a dark room in the house.
To others my grandpap was a bread man, but when I was a kid he developed photos. Pre-digital era, I took polaroids, carried disposable cameras, and recorded video on tape. As an adult, I picked up mirrorless & cinema cameras to more artfully capture subjects.
What have I learned?
Sneak out for sunrise
Just wake up and go. Skip routines. Morning sun is spiritual.
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Find the moment, embrace it, and work with what you’ve got.
Ask for directions
Getting to new places means walking a different path.
Muscle through
Take the long way. Deal with the bug bites. It’s worth it over there.
Be still
Settle in and watch the world present itself.
Discomfort > doubt
Remain true to self even when it pisses people off.
Keep smiling
It’s easy to take everything way too seriously.
Drop in or fall in
Failing is easy. Don’t make it certain. Commit with 100%.
Doors will open
Walk confidently and carry a big white lens.
