Curious, indeed


ghost sheet

"Whatever you do in life, be infinitely curious." This is a motto I strive to follow in life. If we lose our curious spirit, what is left to inquire of the world? Curiosity prompts questions, which often teach us more than their end point--answers. 

Curiosity also sparks conversations, helps children learn and, as they say, causes the cat to lose one of its 8 lives. But it’s more than that; it’s an innate force that keeps us interested in the world around us.

As a photographer, curiosity is key, because it keeps us asking. A look through the lens makes me think, "what is around that corner"..."what can I see if I zoom in?"...or "how will this look upside down?"

In this series of photos I experimented with square cropping. One day I’ll have a Holga camera and really get into that format, but for now here are a few examples of the curious nature of photography.

Curious? Good. Look ahead...

what's inside the window?

have you seen Alice?

catching fireflies
water monster?
