John DeFord: I started blogging back in 2008, mainly focusing on family stories and personal history. After a long break, in LEAVINGS I’m picking it up again as I enter my 80s. While I might revisit those old topics, my main interest now is creating photographic art. I focus on small, everyday things—capturing the beauty, fragility, and the unique strangeness that comes with aging and decay. I share these images simply because I enjoy doing so. For me creating is meditative. At this stage of life I am working on disintegrating ego and disengaging cultural boundaries. It’s about connecting with the ever deepening, expanding, changing nature of existence.
