Accidentally on purpose.

Air Museum, Palm Springs, CA

Sometimes its just nice to wander around with a camera and photograph random stuff. People often try and justify this kind of work (particularly true with street photography, or social documentary) but often its just not needed and in the end, who really cares. Making pictures without purpose is usually the first thing anyone does when they first pick up a camera, and therein lies one of the joys of photography. What people won’t tell you is that all the meaning and philosophy usually comes later.. I spent the best part of 10 years photographing random things in America before realizing it was the perspective of a tourist and not someone who chose to live here. That selection of images became know as, The Accidental Tourist. It was never intentional, just accidental..
