10.27.14 Julie and I. PCH.

When I was a kid and had a crush on female celebrities I would always say “I wish I was their best friend.” To which my Mom would ask, “You don’t want to be their boyfriend?” To which I always replied, “Boyfriends come and go, but best friends are forever.” I found my best friend and my love in the same person.

One of the interesting consequences of looking at a year of your life photographically is that you realize how much you change, and yet, how routine life can be. You lose focus on the idea that the photos you posted earlier in the year came from the same person posting now; the feel almost foreign like part of a group collaboration. Its a fascinating visual chronology of how your images and perspectives change. In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it,” and I would say, for me, there has been no better way to do that then by forcing myself to seek out image, moments, in my every day life for this project; but beyond that, collecting those moments, and more importantly how I captured those moments, tell a story. All in all rounding the home stretch I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride.
