Same Time, Same Place: A New Photo Series by Rog Walker
Oh to be young and creative…
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world, but then I thought, there are so many people in the world; there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true, I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
These are Frida Kahlo’s words. As I read them, I’m reminded of times I’ve felt my decisions to operate outside of established norms would always be met by disagreement and isolation. Strangely, I was ok with that. Eventually though, I encountered a culture of like minded individuals who have reinforced my belief in the importance of abandoning mass ideals and instead conforming to a life of identity and meaning. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to host some of these creatives at our loft. These are just a few, and as the weeks go by there will be more.
Take heart weird one. There are others like you out there.
