So, I’ve been thinking a lot about photography. There’s
something kind of amazing about photos. I mean, photos capture that moment,
that memory, exactly as it happens. With paintings, though they are incredibly

get lost or changed because the human mind isn’t entirely reliable. But
photography… photos don’t forget the details. They remember better than we do.
David Griffin said “Photography carries a power that holds up under the
relentless swirl of today’s saturated media world because photographs emulate
the way that our mind freezes a significant moment.” And that is beautiful...
