art in balance
I have spent most of my life trying to figure out the two halves of my life: art and, for lack of a better term, commerce. How to resolve these two sides - these contradictions? I had always assumed that I had to choose one or the other. The two couldn’t co-exist.
So I would choose one. And I’d be happy for a time. But only for a time.
I would grow restless. The other side of me, left dormant, would begin to stir. And then take over. Leaving the other to wither.
With photography, I believe I’ve found the balance. Answered the riddle I’ve been puzzling for nearly 15 years.
