Being Alive
Being alive is a complex experience with our five senses combining to give a multitude of different experiences. When life is good we love it and when it is not we get stressed and confused. To understand the complexity we need to simplify. Only then can we truly see what is going on and shift our experience to be better. Join me on a photographic journey looking at 18 different components of what we experience. We will start with the 'here and now' and end with 'projections' we put on the world around us.
