I’m so excited 2 of my photographs are featured in the February edition of Wild Greens magazine — a great project created by my friend and colleague, Rebecca!
The theme for this edition is voyages. So many of my photographs reflect a voyage in a literal and/or artistic sense -- I really could have provided countless photos! I’m not too often asked to title my photography or provide my inspiration. I could say a lot and did my best in the super-late January night, up against the deadline, to pull together some brief semi-disparate thoughts.
“The Art of Hanging in There” is a phrase I heard last year and loved and wrote down immediately. Ultimately, hanging in there is what it’s all about. This scene may come across almost too literal to the title at first, but there’s more to it. It’s repetition, rolling with the punches, resilience, moving foward, trying to remember to be in the moment, appreciating when we are, and hopefully enjoying the ride. This swing ride is in Ocean City NJ and though the ride, sun, and perspective pull you into the scene, it is the abundance of colors that really elevate it.
“Lost in your Head” has at least a double meaning — lost in your own head or in someone else’s — depending on how you read it. Sometimes things are so clear, other times we’re lost in the black and white. Sometimes we’re not sure where we are. Wandering and wondering are parts of the journey. This scene is from North Carolina. It’s an amazing sight on its own but I wanted to add artistic flare with the black and white edits. Taking away in this photo, and sometimes in life, make the whole stronger.
