I have a lot of thoughts (most of which are probably self-projecting) that I don't know if I can condense into a little review but I'll try. I've loved Andrew's work for years and years and honestly don't know if I would have become a photographer if it weren't for the photos and vlogs he so consistently shared in the late 2010s. Even now, his work remains some of my favorite (honestly) because of how it feels.
The foreward is simple and to the point and extremely relatable. I've now been taking photos since 2016/2017 and doing it professionally since 2020 and progress is rarely linear. Intentions matter. They effect the results and it's very easy to get in my own head and burn out, especially when a hobby turns into income. But Kearns is completely right when he says it all comes back to "How does it make you feel?".
Over the years I've been less and less drawn to perfection and more inclined to cherish the small unscripted moments. I love the collection he's put together in this book. Not only does it feel nostalgic because this is a body of work that has resonated with me for years (and because of the occasional photos of old iPhones and late 2010s outfits - which I love seeing) but it feels warm and captures the joy of solitude, the energy of exploring a incredible places with good people (it always comes down to who you're with), and the simple beauty of life outside.
I love having these photos in print and knowing that I can come back to them whenever I want and sit with the first impressions, later impressions, and all of the feelings that follow.
