What is it we’re really trying to capture when we reach for a camera?
While on a family trip to Aruba, I found myself questioning why I wanted a photograph so badly. It wasn’t about documenting the vacation or sharing it online. It was something deeper. A moment of seeing that led me into a much bigger conversation about photography, creative identity, and what it actually means to be an artist.
In this episode, I explore how creativity sometimes lives less in what we make and more in the way we pay attention.
