Some photographic work asks for more than a glance. It doesn’t announce itself quickly or resolve easily. This piece reflects on why slower attention still matters, and why certain bodies of work deserve to be met with patience rather than consumption.

Photography is changing quickly, but not all of it is being replaced. This piece reflects on photography as a process-driven practice, where returning, staying, and learning to see more clearly—externally and internally—remain central to the work.

Every photographer knows the tension of traveling with family while hoping to make meaningful images. The rhythm of a vacation rarely matches the rhythm of photography — but with the right mindset, the two can coexist far better than we think.

Every artist knows the season when creation demands everything. When you’re the one making, editing, writing, and building, there’s no balance—only the work itself. But inside that intensity lies a deeper understanding of why we create at all.

What we say about our photographs—how we describe them, interpret them, share them—can shape the work itself. After years spent in galleries and in conversation with collectors, I’ve learned that finding the words is more than an afterthought. It’s a creative act of its own.

Even after 25 years on the path, insecurity still surfaces—especially when it comes to sharing. But when we meet it with presence, it becomes part of the process, not a barrier to it.
