Local Baltimore folks - if you live in Canton, Fells, or Harbor east - move your car to higher ground. Flooding expected today. (Along with the tornado watch)
REMINDER: 2020 is going to be the same miserable year as 2019 if you don't pry yourself off of Netflix and make some changes.
What photographers and curators choose to share and choose to omit can be the difference between amplifying a voice and erasure. Even if it's on a small scale. Because what you do impacts and inspires other people, which impacts us all as a whole.
Just got back from a meeting with a client in which she lamented that the wedding industry is so whitewashed (and I don't mean dresses) and that diversity in photos was important to her so she could feel like her heritage was important too.
Four entry points into photography careers:
1) wrapping yourself with christmas lights and a timer pics
2) deviantart
3) that one couples shoot you did one time with your friends/ cousin
4) dick pics
Just imagine your great grandmother saying "shoot, I shouldn't have worn those mutton sleeves. What an idiot I was."
While trends might go out of style for a bit, that's just the short term. And moments matter but they aren't the only thing that matters.
The legacy of our style and what we LOVED and LIVED is a source of inspiration and a treasure of history for future generations.
