Blog
Welcome!
I’ve been enamored with the idea of having a blog for quite some time but never felt I could commit the time to do it with any consistency. Also, I’m not much of a writer - hence, why I take pictures. That being said, I do feel like the process of making photographs isn’t quite complete until they’ve been shared with the world. I’m not delusional, I realize the world is not here to see them or otherwise has any awareness of me, so it’s the release into the ether that makes me feel a photograph is complete. Of course, I share on social media as well, but that property belongs to someone else. This space is all mine and will be here for as long as I want it to be.
What about all the advice out there that warns against starting a blog unless you're committed to writing consistently? Well, I’m removing any all expectations from myself to produce anything here. The main purpose for this space is to share my photography if/when I feel the need to share it. I’m stealing the idea from friend and fellow photographer Peter West Carey, who at one point was posting a photo-of-the-day, and now simply does more of a photo-of-the-moment, which is what I’m aiming for here.
Aren’t you an architectural and interior design photographer? Isn’t that your business? I am! It is! Sort of. The reality is, there’s not much interest or demand for it here in Southern Utah…or at least, there’s no interest in paying for the effort these images call for. I’m still open to opportunities and eager to collaborate with anyone looking to showcase their next project through premium-quality images.
Lastly, I don’t want to be limited to any one niche or genre of image making. I want to explore and experiment and be challenged. This past year, I’ve been equally inspired by mountain vistas, desert landscapes, and wastelands of discarded industrial machinery. It’s a practice, and for now, I just follow where my heart and gut point me. Thanks for reading, thanks for being here and thanks for spending any time checking out my photography!
Cheers,
Josh
