Dispatches from the Edge of Light
Letters from Elsewhere began in 2019 on a rooftop in Barcelona. I was watching the city change light as the sun fell behind the Gothic Quarter—gold to amber to violet in eleven minutes. I thought: this is what photography is supposed to hold.
Not the moment itself. The feeling of the moment slipping away.
Every photograph in this collection is a letter written in light. The photographers here don't chase drama. They wait for it. A rain-slicked street in Tokyo. A doorway in Havana. The exact second a cloud releases a hill in the Scottish Highlands.
These images are not about where they were taken. They're about what it felt like to be there.
"A city that speaks in half-light and doorways left open."
"Somewhere between arrival and departure, this light exists."
Why These Images Belong Together
Every photograph in Letters from Elsewhere shares a quality the Japanese call 'mono no aware'—the gentle sadness of passing things. These are images that understand impermanence.
The photographers here shoot on both film and digital, but what unites them is restraint. Each frame is deliberate. Nothing is cropped for convenience.
