Bumfuck Nowhere
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been re-calibrating my eye - especially when it comes to color. It feels like a constant process, always shifting. But I’ve come to see that as a good thing.
Every so often, something changes. The way I edit evolves. The tools I reach for shift. Even color and tone start to feel different.
And then I look back at older work… and it feels off.
Maybe not wrong - but like I hadn’t quite seen it yet. Like what I’m doing now is closer. Simpler. More intentional. Less destructive to the raw file. Less force, more restraint.
This cycle seems to come around at least once a year.
I’d imagine most photographers experience it - that moment where you revisit old edits and question everything. Shake your head a bit. Wonder what you were doing. Or maybe that’s just me.
Either way, I’ve learned to appreciate it.
Because every time it happens, something has clicked. The way I see has shifted. Maybe for the better.
And that’s the whole point.
Here are a few photographs from a recent trip to Charleston and parts of Georgia—fairly remote, but a great place to slow down and make some work.
I mainly shoot with a Leica M262, and edit in Lightroom + Dehancer
