Downtown Tampa Walkabout
My images are like being on the edge of a dream. I’m “semi-out-of-body” as I like to call it. Something screams at me and I press the shutter. It’s all energy and vibe. I’m just bringing into existence what in the future is already done.
I’ve seen these (and many more) of my images in a book that has yet to be written. It’s like I’m very old and looking at something done years ago. Only it hasn’t been done - yet. Weird.
I took my Dad’s 28mm Super-Takumar with me. That’s the only lens I used for this entire shoot. Dad was with me. Cheering for me. Not quite understanding what I was doing, yet he was pushing me. “Better than I was yesterday”, that’s what I tell myself. And that’s my intent.
Each one of these shots is completely intentional. Driven to make them by some unknown energy, my camera is an extension of me. Part of my soul. Really powerful stuff.
And though I want people to enjoy my work and to get something from it, I’m not making this for “likes”. This is much more important to me.
