For the last few years I’ve been trying to find my purpose, to understand how and why. Why have I been drawn to photography, why have I let go of everything else to pursue the craft? What is my direction in all of this? What am I doing with my life? Why do I smile to myself when I walk around and see beauty in the world around me? Why do some people think I’m crazy?
Then today, it dawned on me. It hit me like a slap in the face and it finally makes so much sense.
I yearn to discover and experience human connection and emotion, with a sense of truth and authenticity.
Life isn’t about the house, or the car or the boat. It isn’t about the pay cheque at the end of the week, or the picket fence, or the gym membership. It is all about our experiences with other people. It is about how we interact with our friends, family or person sitting next to us on the train. The most important of these experiences is love. This is where I will be focusing my photographic vision.
With this in mind, my photography and my life will undoubtedly be changing and evolving and I cannot wait to share this with you. Here are some recent photographs from a trip to Melbourne that has been the catalyst to this new understanding. Enjoy :)
