This series was born out of an attempt to break a habit of working in highly conceptualized series and projects by becoming more spontaneous, and shooting as I used to when I worked with slide film. What if I just lifted up the camera, framed up a composition, and released the shutter, without any post-processing whatsoever? Suddenly, my images showed what I saw and felt at that instant, not what I added to the mix by fiddling with the pictures later. My photographs became more spontaneous, honest, and immediate. I look forward to seeing how this fresh, new approach will inform my future work.
