Finding Narratives
Like most photographers, I am perpetually behind on editing and cataloging my work. Over the past month I’ve made a serious push to go back and make sure I look at every frame I take. It’s led me on an interesting journey, leaving me to find narratives in my own work that I didn’t know existed. An entire portfolio – Love Song to Youth - was created after letting one summer of images marinate in my head for well over a year, before it jumped out from the screen at me. Personally, there’s something much more pure, or whole, uncovering a story you didn’t know you were following – something about how photography can reveal things going on on your subconscious that you didn’t know about. If you’re a photographer, I suggest you give it a try.
The next set of images were created in September and October of 2010 – just after moving to New York City for an internship. These were made walking around the city. I remember how I felt during those months rather distinctly, but I’d be interested to hear what these images say to you – so tell me, what’s the narrative here?
