moments we miss

There is nothing more ephemeral than the moment you make eye contact with a stranger on a busy city street; the sounds of the world fade out for a split second that seems to stretch on forever, until finally, they release you from a fleeting prison.

That experience is the inspiration for this quarter’s and my final nuAZN main shoot. I sought to explore ways to capture not only the visuals of this unique form of human connection, but also the magical feelings that ensue: shock, hope, perception, the nakedness that comes with being unabashedly known, if only for a moment.

It has been incredibly special to connect with you over the last four quarters through entertaining my wildest imaginings in photographs. In truth, nothing lasts in perpetuity, though, these small moments just might.

Take the time to immerse yourself in each of these shots. Don’t look away from the subjects: stare back. Feel seen. Feel connected. And then when you return to the world beyond the page, witness your life with a renewed purpose. Just because these moments are ephemeral doesn’t mean they can’t have a lasting impact on who we become.
