Anywhere Blvd

In my interview with Jon Moore (@doomstache), he shares that from a young age he was driven to understand how things worked, often taking them apart to see how they functioned. That curiosity kept the family camera out of his hands until he was 13, when a trip to New York introduced him to a whole new way to explore how things work.

“After seeing that binder full of images from our trip to New York, I began to realize what I could actually accomplish with a camera. Each photograph unlocked something I had already begun to forget. I could remember the smell of the street, the weather that afternoon, the conversation happening just outside the frame. I realized that photographs weren’t simply records of what something looked like. They were vessels for memory, capable of holding an entire experience inside a single frame.

That realization has stayed with me ever since. Photography became less about documenting what was in front of me and more about preserving the feeling of having been there. It’s still how I approach the medium today: as a way of paying closer attention to the world, trusting that if I look closely enough, the photograph might reveal something I didn’t even know I was looking for.”
