Perfect conclusion. I feel like when I over explain my work, it’s coming from a place of impostor syndrome, that said I couldn’t agree more with your sentiment. Nice one.
This speaks so much to me. I have been thinking about this lately, too! Sometimes I struggle, thinking I need to write a long explanation filled with deep meaning and philosophical meanderings about a body of work. As if the joy and effort of photographing something meaningful to me isn‘t enough. It is funny, though, because I often enjoy looking at photographs more when they don‘t come with words. Words can sometimes be helpful, but sometimes overexplaining can ruin a photograph (or a sequence of photos) for me.
aw, I'm so glad it does! It's definitely something that's been weighing heavy on my mind for the past few years. "As if the joy and effort of photographing something meaningful to me isn‘t enough"..this is something we need to keep on the forefront of our minds when we create! I couldn't agree more :-) at the end of the day, photographs contain an endless world of words..
Great project, Brother! Excited to see more!
thanks brother!!

Thank you! I completely agree with you. It oddly causes me to feel more detached from my own work at times..
thanks for reading it, man!
Nicely done. I myself have also been thinking of the same about my projects and how to get them out there. TY for publishing this.
thank you for reading!!
