i did an interview over the holidays for Lucky Brand (here), who featured STILL on their company blog on christmas day. they emailed a dozen questions about my daily routines, about jack the puggle, and about how and where i find my inspiration. the questions prompted me to revisit a number of images and moments and some of my original motivations for starting this blog. when they asked about my favorite finds over the last three years, i realized i had to sift through a number of quite spectacular finds, including a baby eagle, a great horned owl, a trumpeter swan, a coyote, and the great blue heron above, but my favorite finds, as opposed to my most spectacular finds, were the ones that had emotion behind them. the favorites each had a story that meant something to me. which is not something i think about very often. i mostly search for images that are beautiful or interesting, but not necessarily images attached to an emotion or a narrative. perhaps, thanks to an unexpected interview, that will now change.
