the between

[Winston-Salem, NC]

ask any decent photographer about his craft and he'll mention the 'moments in between.'  he's referring to the events that occur when the ordinary kid with a camera wouldn't shoot.  moving to and fro... gestures in conversation... a natural smile.  because we all know 'say cheese' doesn't really make an image. 

but what comes in between the between?  

an authentic yawn meant for the private space... a distracted gaze in conversation.  the moments that make us human.  

the image above is the first in a 'scientific' study of these moments... removing the noise from a typical photo-journalistic shoot to concentrate on the fine detail of the moments elimated from polite memory. these are the moments the soul is raw and becomes most open for exploration.
