Enjoying the Day

Interesting places exist wherever we look long enough. Odessa is a real place, nothing touristy about it, so real that it’s utterly clueless about itself in a good way, and that’s why I stay.

Nothing ever really ends. Being alive proves existence. After a certain age, it’ll be the best it’s going to get, but when remains unclear.

Photography is a sublime niche that’s as humble as enjoying cameras and experimenting with lenses and films, simply being outside somewhere.

It’s not collectible, photography is for the photographer — a place to learn, play, or change one’s mind.

Usually, it’s something in the water in most places, but here in Odessa, it’s under the surface.
