The Soul of a Photograph

“The Japanese have a word—sabi—that refers to any object that after many years has acquired a quality of what we might call ‘noble shabbiness.’ . . . Sabi is the acquired soul of a created thing as it grows old.”

Charles Baxter

My photographs technically aren’t very old, but I strive to create images that have the comforting feel of something familiar, something that has been around for a long time.

To me the most beautiful photos are the ones that elevate mundane, everyday places and moments that might otherwise be ignored into something special. Something that might touch a heart or recall a warm memory.
