What entices me about photography is that however insignificant or small a moment may be, its most lovable features usually stay in the photograph. Even if a picture is blurry, mistimed, or simply ugly, it still has a lot of memories attached to it; it’s still a truthful snippet of a part of someone’s life.
Working from medium to medium, I try to integrate favorite features from one method of art into another. For example, in this illustration, I wanted to capture the entirety of a moment rather than only the silent and well-organized bits (that would simply be false to my memory!). I included everyone’s speech bubbles to emphasize my point; this moment was about being together, and being who we are–not about the grandeur of nature or a secret invisible eye path between two people. This scene is messy, transitional, and seemingly pointless–like many important moments in life.
