From Alec-
‘In all of those photos I have been accompanied by people I am extremely grateful to have in my life. When I look back at each of those memories, I always remember the happy feeling I had when I pressed the shutter button and the countless conversations with strangers made to friends when they ask me what I am working on when they see my laptop screen while I’m in photoshop going through every detail my eye can see in a airport or cafe.
The stranger part is fun, because most of the time peoples reaction when I tell them what I do is really surprising. Which I love, it’s a ton of fun talking to people about it. It’s usually a first time for people to hear it, which is even cooler.
Each photo in this small sample has a story I can talk about for a few hours, and the fact I was able to enjoy those moments with people I hold close remind me that life is good. “Ebbs and flows” as they say, but you always need something to ground you and that’s what these do for me.
‘life is good’
