I write about and photograph things that interest me. A lot of my photographs are of everyday things in our lives. Some are beautiful, some fascinating, some odd, and some are just funny.
Too often we look for beauty when we travel to new and exciting places but overlook the beauty right in front of us. If walking for exercise is your goal, I am not a good companion because I am always stopping and saying “Oh look at this - can you wait a moment - maybe I can get a shot” I am annoying.
As for my writing - I have done a lot of writing in my career, but rarely in my name. I have been a ghostwriter, a speechwriter, and a content writer. I once wrote and directed a one-woman play for a friend for a Toastmasters competition. That was a lot of fun.
I hope you enjoy the photographs and the writing - mine and others - and it inspires you to submit your own story, photographs, or art.
You can find more of my writing on Medium under JD Cottier.
