You’re constantly in a state of becoming as a photographer:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Abstract<\/p>\n

Even if you wanted to be the same photographer for your whole life, you couldn’t!<\/p>\n

\n

You never step into the same river twice<\/h2>\n

\"Mountain<\/p>\n

Our buddy Heraclitus once said something like:<\/p>\n

\n Even if you wanted to step into the same river twice, you couldn’t. This is because you’re different, and the steam is constantly changing and flowing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You never shoot the same photo twice<\/h2>\n

\"Eric<\/p>\n

A similar idea:<\/p>\n

Even if you wanted to shoot the same exact photo twice, you couldn’t!<\/p>\n

\"Minus<\/p>\n

The light is constantly changing and steaming.<\/p>\n

Your vision as a photographer is also constantly changing.<\/p>\n

The photons of light are also constantly dancing, and never in the same spot.<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/p>\n

The sun is always moving, changing, and revolving.<\/p>\n

Our subjects are constantly aging<\/h2>\n

\"Benjamin\"<\/p>\n

The people we photograph are constantly aging.<\/p>\n

For example a baby you photograph today, is going to look different next week, or next month, or year.<\/p>\n

Photography documents growth and decay<\/h2>\n

\"Cindy\"<\/p>\n

This is why I photograph Cindy<\/a>; it is memento mori and memento viviere.<\/p>\n

It is a reminder that Cindy and I will both die. But while I’m alive, I want to create artworks imbued with both our souls.<\/p>\n

\"Cindy<\/p>\n

\n

Go with the flow<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Allow yourself to change and evolve as a photographer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Embrace the flux of photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NEVER STOP SHOOTING!
