a list, if you will
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (my favorite movie of all time. please go watch it if you haven't)
- old film photos of my parents. I found my mom's photo album from college when I was a kid. I never realized how beautiful she was until I saw those pictures.
- Taylor Swift songs obviously
- the way my dog's ears flap up when someone he loves walks into a room. he has three legs and he's getting up in years but he still hobbles over to them like a happy pup.
- Sylvia Plath poems. My little sister's favorite author and, as such, one of mine too.
- old money/preppy inspired graphic design. I literally just scroll on Pinterest to stare because it eats ik it's a weird one
- Pumpkin spice lattes. Starbucks has created a masterpiece with that beverage and nobody should look at it any differently than glorious artistic expression (in my opinion.)
- Ansel Adams photos - one of the greats. self explanatory.
- Noah Kahan lyrics - every song is a masterclass in the power of nostalgia, and his music gives me the feeling I want to create with every photo I deliver. (also why I listen to him on repeat while I'm editing)
- the art of color grading + the 60/30/10 rule. go down a rabbit hole about it on TikTok, you won't regret it
- other photographers! This community is so vast and vibrant, and everyone has their own unique style. You can learn so much about how to be a better photographer by studying others' work.
