One-Eyed Dog

Photography is a gentle way to see oneself alive.

Photography accommodates so much and lets us pretend for a short while. It’s work and love somewhere between truth and beauty, where evidence won, while imagining the perfect, from a heart and head filled with dreams. Reality is a muddled, wholesome, and complicated mess. 

Photographers will often land somewhere between newsfluencers, interlopers, or public nuisances — appearing rough and wounded yet glad. Photography is the act of seeing compositions and making prints; it’s loving light and standing where each place has a signature aesthetic made from lines, shadows, textures, and hues.

There are cameras, and then there are instruments that reveal heartache long buried. I think we’re chasing a feeling when it comes to our photography, and a high-quality rangefinder is one of those few cameras that has nothing to do with specs and everything to do with the heart.
