Borrowed Light is my practice of slowing down and looking longer.

I travel to understand a place’s character and photograph the moments that feel easy to miss: the quiet before a crowd, a sudden alignment of geometry, a lone figure crossing the frame.

These photo essays aren’t an attempt to say everything—just a reminder to pause and pay attention.

How important it is to walk along, not in haste but slowly, looking at everything and calling out ... To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.
