After four transformative years, it is time to say goodbye to Colorado. The place where I formally started Dowell & Co., got married, learned to hunt, rode horses, surfed rivers, and made friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Bittersweet as it is, we will be headed back east to Atlanta, Georgia this October. 

The story of two types of photography.

Made and Found images are really the only two types of photography. Made images are the result of a photographer making decisions about what they choose to put or not put in the frame; editorial photography, portrait photography, product photography, and fashion photography to name a few. A Made image could undergo a vast quantity of color, and content adjustments in its final form; almost a collage of introduced digital elements. While Found images are exactly that, found slices of life that the photographer came across; photojournalism, street photography, and nature photography. In it’s final form a Found image would have very minimal edits and adjustments.

In the ever-evolving landscape of language and cultural expressions, a new term has emerged - Malone. It has swiftly become my favorite descriptor for that feeling of bliss during moments of tranquility. Unlike its predecessor, Hygge, Malone captures the essence of an American-style coziness that doesn't necessarily require company but thrives in the simplicity of life.

Sometimes it’s just better to take it slow…

Let’s get festive!

It is shoots like this that feed my soul.

Where did your last meal come from?
