“I make pictures so I don’t forget.”
It’s a simple mission statement, but in a world that moves at 120 frames per second, I find myself constantly reaching for the “Pause” button. That’s what Blank Space & Polaroids is: a collection of pauses.
If you’re looking for a Taylor Swift or Bravo reference, you found it. But much like a Polaroid, this blog is about the magic that happens in the waiting—the slow development of a story until the colors finally start to make sense.
The Art of the Stubborn Moment
I don’t always go for the big, staged milestones. I’m here for the stubborn moments that refuse to leave my head:
• The crooked smiles that only happen when someone thinks the camera is off.
• Hands on steering wheels at dusk, caught in that blue-hour light that feels like a secret.
• Ticket stubs tucked so deep into a wallet they’ve started to fray.
I’ve always felt that a picture is just a sentence waiting for a little context—and maybe a punchline. Sometimes my photos are evidence that a day actually happened; other times, they are just an excuse to sit down and write until the feeling is captured.
This blog is where the image and the word meet halfway… with periodic pop-culture detours; after all, some things (like reality TV queens and Taylor Swift albums) are worth defending out loud.
I believe in being honest without being unkind. To keep things sacred, I err on the side of discretion—names might become initials and places might blur, but I promise the feeling will always stay true.
Thanks for stopping by my “Blank Space.” I hope you find something here that resonates, or at least something that looks good in a white border.
