While doing computer work, a youtube video about Stephen Shore caught my attention and had me appreciating the subtle details in this photo of mine made last year in Quincy. I’m not trying to compare myself to Shore, however, it was a refreshing break from my work to take in the video and look at some of his images with a bit of honest commentary from the youtuber The Photographic Eye (a channel I often enjoy). It’s easy to get hard on myself about my images when I’m not brining home bangers after a few days of Ill Wandering. But a pause to remember the bigger picture is nice. Not every image needs to be consumed on a phone in half a second.

This was a spur-of-the-moment attempt at something while passing through Quincy last year on an Ill Wandering outing. Alec, a bank employee, was nice enough to pose for me as he was leaving work. There’s definitely something here, but not sure my vision fully translated in the final image. Mainly, I’m obsessed with the church spire sticking out from Alec’s head and wandered around town capturing it from every angle imaginable. If you’d like to see a dozen more, let me know! Thanks to Alec for being a good sport and entertaining my artistic whims.
