I am proud to say I entered 3 photos into an open competition at the Independent Photographer. It's the 1st time I entered a competition in over a decade. If you are a photographer, I may suggest entering your work. It is good practice to believe in yourself. 😁

I'm not writing this to turn Karen on a business platform. I just find the inconsistencies overwhelming.

Photo on the left is mine. It was twice removed immediately from an online sales platform I attempted to kickstart today. I even censored it per their guidelines for nude content - as seen here. Their team labeled it unsafe and pornographic. The right photo still exists on the same platform.

Artist Statement: This piece is about losing touch.

I'm not entirely excited for the end result here, but the concept felt authentic enough to me to share it and not leave it in a desktop folder.

Title: It's a Small World

Artist Statement: This piece explores the quiet gravity of restriction—how boundaries both visible and imagined compress the vastness of possibility into a confined perimeter.

I overcame my fears of the unknown while exploring the Buffalo Central Terminal today. Aside from accidently interrupting a pair of "lovers" who mistook the terminal for a motel, the rest was history.
