Not two weeks ago I was walking through the rocky landscape and enjoying the dry heat. My heart is with the people experiencing the fires in Arizona right now.

🪴“Let’s live like houseplants. Get a little light, drink a little water, and grow a little stronger each day.”🌿

Sometimes a thought gets stuck in my brain for a while, like a song playing on repeat that never resolves. I’ve learned I need to get it out. Oddly enough this popped up while writing my LinkedIn bio. I was trying to find a way to infuse some personality before giving the usual humble brag... “I strive to...” Since then I’ve been toying with one word until my partner gave me the answer last night: Stronger.
.
Is this a poem? Just some words I guess. Where could you see this? Cards, poster, mural?

Throw it back to sketching with a marker on this wall (aka step 1)... I was way happier than I anticipated once I drew this in real life. Kinda wish I left it sans color.

🐂 BOLD & GENTLE 🌼
an early sketch from my “Ferdinand” project from #tylerschoolofart. It was interesting to learn about all the dichotomies of this story. Ferdinand’s appearance vs. his personality, what’s expected vs. reality, and even the violent nature of the sport despite being a children’s book.

☁️CLOUDY & BRIGHT ☀️ These days are ideal for flower photo shoots. Today’s weather reminds me of a Spring 2019 shoot for @enlivenplanters... The soft light creates clean, clear, and saturated images.

📸 An easy photography trick: when ever you see a puddle, compose a picture in the reflection and flip it upside down. A quick way to make any scene more dynamic. The water can be still or wavy, just as long as you make the viewer ask “which way is up?” It helps to leave a little hint of the real world... Swipe thru to see some reflections I’ve found throughout the years. #yatesdesignstudio #phillyphotographer #creativephotography
