Why The Space Between Frames

This is a short intro to my creative space. I’ll share photos, reflections, and stories about photography and seeing.

Photography isn’t only about what’s inside the frame.

It’s about what surrounds it — the choices, the intention, the story implied but not spoken.

That’s the space I keep returning to — part of the process that’s often messy, sometimes uncertain, but always creative. It’s where ideas take shape, and sketches bring those ideas to life.

When I photograph, I’m aware of the spaces between:

• Between light and shadow.

• Between subject and storyteller.

• Between past and present.

• Between what’s captured and what’s felt.

• Between this photograph and the next.

This space — The Space Between Frames — is where I’ll share some of that work.

But really, this space wouldn’t exist without a little nudge.

Well, okay, a big nudge. A gentle push.

My dear friend, Candie, walked with me through a long season where I wasn’t quite sure where my creative work was headed. She asked questions I didn’t yet have answers for — most often: “What’s next?” And while she keeps insisting I should write a book (which feels far beyond my league), this space feels like a perfect place to start. A place to share, to explore, and to invite others into the conversations I’ve been having with her — and with myself — for quite a while.

Here, you’ll find:

• Visual essays (word-and-image-storytelling) and personal projects

• Reflections on teaching and learning photography

• Thoughts on story, composition, and seeing the world around me

• The occasional behind-the-scenes look at how projects evolve

You won’t find camera specs or gear reviews here.

But if you're drawn to photographs that speak beyond sharpness and settings — you're in the right place.

Thanks for joining me!
