As promised, a Casual Camera.
I wanted to do a video for this, but time was not permitting. I was getting pretty exasperated about it, but as I was scrolling through all my photos I took this summer, I rediscovered a message I found during my day at Washington Park: “Fresh Moment, Every Moment.”
This is the type of Hakuna Matata messaging I needed. For the past oh, four months, I’ve been living in moments. Planning has been difficult——doable, but difficult——and being a self-starter even more so.
But in between all these struggles have been some seriously poetic and beautiful moments this summer. And I know some of these photos didn’t take place during the calendar basis of summer but, meteorologically speaking, those pedantic thoughts can go fuck themselves.
Seasons are a state of mind, and I’ve been in a summer state of mind since April. The moment everything is in bloom, I’m already there. So with that in mind, I’ve collected all of these photos showcasing certain vistas that just sort of stuck with me.
Fresh moments where, well, you just had to be there. I hope you enjoy them. And know that I’m working on reworking what “The Casual Camera” means.
More videos and poetry, if you please. wink wink
