There will be many more colorful photos to follow. Yesterdays big beautiful Indian wedding was amazing. But there is something I enjoy about this image in black and white, it draws your eyes to all of the details. The amount of carefully thought out details at Indian weddings is mind blowing!! @vrinda10 and her parents travelled to India to hand pick out and customize her wedding outfits. Each detail was custom made to the exact color she wanted, everything looks absolutely perfect!

I will always be drawn to a serious portrait on a white background. Richard Avedons “ In the American West” was the first photography book I owned. His outdoor portraits on a backdrop, the lack of perfection, no studio, no lights… just faces with beautiful catchlights in their eyes, I was obsessed. His work has always been one of the strongest influences that has remained a back bone of the way I shoot for over 20 years. Every time I get caught up in trends, or feeling in a rut, I return to this simple way of shooting, and without fail it brings me back to my roots, it reminds me that simple is better, it makes all of my work feel better, it makes me fall in love with my art all over again.

Compassion over comprehension… a little saying I

Compassion over comprehension… a little saying I heard this week. To me this is a much more beautiful and profound way of saying, give people the benefit of the doubt. I feel like the only way to maintain strong connections with people and to love more is to have compassion. This can look and feel different for everyone, but to figure out what it is for you can be life changing. To be delicate and kind to people and to be aware that not everybody has had the same day as you is such a wonderful thing to aspire to. It is impossible to know (unless you ask of course) what has happened in someone’s life/day upon interacting with them, it’s why I very strongly feel that every time you engage in conversation with anyone, a stranger or a loved one, it’s so so important to practice this line “compassion over comprehension”. I am in no way claiming that I remember to do this all the time, but I do know for sure, that on the days I do remember I feel wonderful. I feel proud of myself, and that is because it becomes so amazingly obvious that when you do this, you put everyone around you at ease, you have the ability to change the mood in the room based on your actions. It’s so simple, and it brings me joy. I like doing things like this if for no other other reason then some moments of joy.
