It was a Friday night in June. I was supposed to go to an opening at 1122 Outside, an alternative backyard gallery space, but I was cozy on the couch with my best friend, the torpor of the pandemic having had its way with us long ago. We told ourselves that since the gallery was outside, it would be easy to social distance. We were both vaccinated, but our nervous systems hadn’t yet unlearned what had been drilled into them over the previous fifteen months: Everyone is a potential murderer. We vowed to leave after a half hour. In and out. Art and run. Back to the safety of the couch. As we pulled up to the unassuming white house...
There’s a famous psychology experiment where children are left in a room with one marshmallow each. The children are told that if they wait and don’t eat it straight away, they will be given a second one. On average, preschool kids resist for less than ten minutes before eating it. It showcases a quintessentially human experience—our struggle to control our desires and plan for the future. Except how quintessentially human is it? A comparable test was designed for chimpanzees, who were shown rewards, which would accumulate next to them, if they waited patiently.

As a busy Dad of two young boys, life gets hectic quite often. I still do plenty of photography, but gone are the long days spent in a blind waiting for a bird to appear. Nevertheless, I’ve found other ways to fulfill my creative desires. The key ingredient here is not abundant time, but imagination. This, coupled with a willingness to step out of my comfort zone has led me to a new discovery. I call it “dreaming with eyes open.” Truth be told, the process I’m about to detail will yield its fair share of failed attempts. Yet I’ve found that with a bit of perseverance, it’s possible to make photos that are otherworldly. It’s no secret that shooting...
If you’re a child of the 80s (I must be pretty old.. Haha), you’ve probably used plenty of hairspray in your time. This was done for the culture.
