Water drops

Day 6 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / nyc @theo_stanley The mornings dew serve as tiny lenses to intricate leaf patterns. I enjoy paying attention to images at a macro scale as well, (although no macro lens was used) studying the phenomenon of light and design, purely for the joy of seeing in this …

Cheap glass

Day 6 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / nyc @theo_stanley Photography is rooted in craftsmanship, however that isn’t always the road to being effective. Perfect modern lenses, while being a pinnacle of engineering often lack the character, soul and emotion of vintage lenses, which may have more imperfections or less precise coatings for contrast …

Mini bus

Day 5 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / nyc @theo_stanley I generally do not write much about the images that I share to my account, unless it is quite important, as I think that words can often take away from the experience of reading a photograph, which will resonate differently to each viewer based …

Bridge

Day 4 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / NYC @theo_stanley It’s interesting how images resonate differently in time, as the signifiers and political landscape change, not always for the better. Nyc is a city that points to everywhere in the world, and I love that about its visual narrative. Here, two women stand both …

Red

Day 3 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley People are both wonderful and strange, and make odd decisions, about their lives, and spaces.
