Hey everyone!
Happy to announce this morning that my coffee is tasting delicious. But also I am part of the “Embracing Stillnes “ at the Humble Arts Foundation with one of my photographs.
The show is curated by: Sara Urbaez and Jon Feinstein

Statement:
“Curated by Sara Urbaez and Jon Feinstein, Embracing Stillness contemplates the quiet moments that add texture to our lives.
The world often feels like it’s spinning out of control. Amidst the thunder of the pictures illustrating that world, photography can also lend us some calm, some peace, some time to meditate on nuance. When we’re inundated with instantaneous, vigorous imagery every day on our social media timelines and tv screens; how do we honor the moments in between the chaos?
For this call, we invited photographers to share work that conveys a nuanced view of calm, peace, and quiet. We asked them to capture the way the morning light filters through the window, the meditative relief a deep breath brings after a long day, the imperfect smile of a loved one - images across genres that highlight the unexpected moments of wonder, encapsulate comfort and wellbeing, and bring balance to the human experience.
The following images may not all immediately grab us in a rapid-fire Instagram scroll, but earn the time and space it takes to become immersed in their stories. They are deep breaths into love, endurance, and the simple act of slowing down. We hope they bring some balance to your day – an opportunity to gradually pause and reflect.“.
