There are some colors that can not be found in nature and must be synthesized. The fact that there is someone out there who understands chemistry well enough to create a color from the combination of elements completely blows me away. I don’t understand how it all works, but am grateful that people exist who are able to because I love color so much.
Cooking is very much the same way. I may be able to appreciate good food, but I do not possess the skills required to be a chef – understanding how to achieve flavor combinations through various processes involved in ingredient selection and preparation is beyond my capabilities. I may never understand it well enough to do it myself, but I’m grateful for people who live for it because good-tasting food is a fantastic experience.
Music is what inspires me, and while I feel very adept at determining what is successful and unsuccessful music, I must admit that my brain doesn’t work in the ways necessary to make anything worth listening to. However, I owe my life to everyone who has made the tracks that have helped me become who I am. Likewise with every other artist who has helped create a world worth exploring and being excited to be a part of.
What I hope to do through my photography is design images (with whatever materials I have at my disposal) that can help incite the same feeling that I get when I listen to a piece of inspirational music. I know that other people find inspiration outside of their art, too… so maybe I can help inspire another person in the same obscure, indescribable way that music affects me.
It isn’t about fame or fortune – it’s about the irreplaceable high I experience using what I love to help other people find love in what they do, whatever that might be.
