There's a word for the urge to freeze a moment you know is already leaving. I found it, naturally, while going down a rabbit hole of words. Then I went for a walk with my camera, put it away, and somehow still managed to overthink the whole thing. This is that.

Staring up at the night sky, I think: just here floating through space on a spinning rock, casually identifying stars as if that is a normal Tuesday activity. And then I imagine sailors doing something similar, except with far more at stake.

I’m fascinated by how neuroscience shows that we all experience a different version of reality, shaped by our brains, memories, and emotions. This blog explores how that idea lives inside my photography, and why it feels so cool when two brains link up and perceive an image in similar ways.
