The Nitty Gritty

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that looks for beauty in the weathered and magic in the mundane. It encourages us to notice the unconventional, the old, and the imperfect—elements of life that often go unnoticed in our busy routines. This approach teaches us to appreciate the simple pleasures that enrich our lives, reminding us that there is elegance in impermanence and depth in authenticity. I like to think of it as photographing the nitty gritty.
