The Art of Resistance
The Birds. Santa Monica, CA 2025.
I just broke my elbow on the 4th of July, it sucks, but I am moving forward. Since then I’ve been reading The War of Art. The book (if you haven’t read it) is about how “resistance” holds us back from our full potential. I have felt this my entire career as a photographer. It often manifests itself when a photo reveals itself and I say to myself “I’ll come back and shoot that”. The truth is. I never make it back, the moment is lost and I am left with a feeling of guilt. The thing about giving up these opportunities is that the creative hole gets deeper, and deeper, and deeper. The photos in this post are my way of slowly climbing out of that hole. Some were made while on assignments, and some were made by simply taking the time to pull out my camera. I would love to give more insight, but I hate typing with my left hand. In closing I highly recommend getting out there and doing things for yourself. No matter what it is, you will have a way better day.
