The magic possibility of framing a certain space and time is what brought me to photography. This process of recording elements of 3 dimensions in the flow of time, and fixing them in a 2 dimensional image, creates a new context for the elements of the photograph.

What seems to hold you
Only frames you fleetingly
You were always free.
I have been thinking about and playing with frames in photographs.
How they can change an ordinary scene into something special.
How they can focus the eye, capture light, create intimacy with the vast.
You have escaped the cage. Your wings are stretched out. Now fly.
Rumi
Maybe this is something you can try yourself, if you’re interested. Go for a walk with your smartphone or camera and look for objects, doorways, fences, holes in walls, forks in trees - anything that you can look through to emphasize your subject beyond, within, or possibly even perched on your chosen frame. I would love to see what you come up with! You can either send it to me directly or just post it and tag me if you’re on Instagram @randomrho.
Thank you so much for being here! I am going to be traveling for the next couple weeks with unknown connectivity- so I might be posting on a slightly wonky schedule - but I’ll see you next week-ish 😊.
Potential frames are everywhere. Green Heron on the ropes at the Miami Beach Marina.
