Around the table.

I have this need to do things my way when it comes to my creation.

To not follow what people are trying to tell me.

To treat my website like a little dinner table community. Where you sit and eat and you chat.

Chat around bottles of wine and cups of tea. About life. About love. About that one moment that one time.

About the boy who broke your heart. About work and how it’s stressful but you can’t afford to change it.

To talk about the flaws we see in people because we can also see the gold.

To talk about your children and how much I love them but how I am not sure about having them.

People tell me I need to talk about this on my website and speak about photography.

How and why I create.

Post on a schedule, generate the reads and get eyes on the page.

And I understand it. Don’t get me wrong I understand it. I am for it. I get it.

But then I also don’t want it.

Because you don’t just invite anyone and everyone over for dinner right?

You invite in people who are safe. People who can handle good conversation.

People who want to learn.

People who are fascinated by connection.

Who are amazed by other humans.

Who love creation and understand the pain and stretch behind it.

The ebbs and flows.

I think that is my goal for this place.

That even though it’s professional and a portfolio and a little glimpse into what I do.

This part should feel like the dinner table.

The place you come with questions or the place you come to just sit and be with good and safe people.

\You might ask how photography relates to this.

And this is how.

All I want to do is create art that feels like being seen and heard.

Images that make you feel something.

\That translates even in its simplicity.

So images that feel like sitting around a dinner table.

It's a weird analogy but an exact feeling that people understand.
