I used to think taste was something you developed. That experience sharpened it, the right influences refined it, that eventually you arrived somewhere deliberate and earned. Then I scrolled back through 15,000 images on my Tumblr and realized my eye was already there in 2012. I just hadn't looked at it properly until now. Read the full article on Substack

Somewhere between art school and getting paid to make things, every hobby started auditioning for a job.
I didn't notice it happening until a small sketchbook in the Kröller-Müller Museum reminded me what I'd lost.
My newest essay isn't really about drawing. It's about permission. Permission to make something that doesn't have to become anything.

The Death of the Unedited Life — my new essay, now on The Wandering Muse.
I went to the Ed van der Elsken retrospective at the Rijksmuseum on a Sunday afternoon in high season, which was a bad idea logistically and a good idea for everything else.
Nine rooms. Forty years of work. Contact sheets with every crossed-out frame still intact. Colour slides his publishers refused to include. Film footage of the Nieuwmarkt and Waterlooplein where he described what he saw in six words: Echte mensen. Geen rijke mensen. Interessanter. Real people. Not rich people. More interesting.
The piece isn't really about photography. It's about what happens when the edit moves from the photograph to the life itself.

The work has made me an authority. The curiosity has never let me stop being a student. This week, what happens when both are true in the same room.

There is a Morocco underneath the tourist surface. It only shows itself to the people who look like they actually want to be there.

CINEMA. Films and documentaries that made a real impression. Not plot summaries, not ratings: composition, colour, art direction, the way a scene is staged, what the music does before you've noticed it's there. Written by someone who has spent years working with image and watches accordingly.
Three films in black and white. Not nostalgia, not period accuracy. A decision each director made when colour was available and within reach.
