Square Dance
My “first dance” with square format photography, created over the past year in Houston, Texas when I lived there for a job offer I took. Moving to Houston was my first time stepping into Texas and I created so many images there that I fell in love with. Early into my move, I found a photographer named Gerry Johansson that inspired me to start to experiment with "square format" photography. I absolutely love constraints in my ideation and creation process as an artist and adopted this square crop constraint many many times while out making images in the state. Me and my close friend Daniel would drive all over the state of Texas, Diane Arbus style, throwing a dart on the map and photographing whatever we saw on the way. I really hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. Square format photography will always hold a special place in my heart now.
