Snow bound and down. January 27th 2011. New York City.

A year later here I am…

And next year? I can honestly say I don’t know where I’ll be. And for me that’s the point. I don’t get two weeks of freedom each year, the rest of my time beholden to someone else. Of course I don’t get two regular paychecks a month either. It’s a trade off I’ve been happy to make for some time now. The idea that this time next year I might be in Florence or Prague or St. Petersburg is hard to resist and one I’m not sure I can live without. Once you start actually following your dreams it’s not unlike a drug. It’s hard to stop. It’s even harder to come up with reasons why you should…

New York, December 15, 2011

I saw this sticker on the subway the day I was leaving. Clearly it is a sign and a good one at that. It has taken me a bit longer than expected to return to Barcelona but here I am, ready to continue work and discover new realities.

Barcelona December 20, 2011

Having a dream and realizing it are two completely different things. Many people also think that realizing a dream should be easy which is the exact opposite of the truth: by definition achieving a dream is one of the hardest things you can do. Time after time I talk to people, especially photographers who know what their dream is but find excuses for not pursing it. They ask me for solutions. I tell them I have none. Coming up with answers is easier than you think. Coming up with reasons not to follow your heart is even easier….
