   Episode 4: David Noles

   Huge fan of oral histories and documentaries, when started taking photo didnt realize there was a link (thoguth it was was just about beauty etc.) As photographed more and more, the shoots became conversations and questions. We went to see a play about identity, they are standing inside a box, one way mirror. All through the play they interact with their younger self. Why don’t we do it with nephews and nieces. You are telling  yourself questions about it, what are you doing, what are you like, went back to his work with a different perspective, became interviews about who are you. It had nothing to do with ambitions of actors The moment in the room is much more about this human connection andthat is the thing I care about. The camera is the entree into this connection, If i could just invite people into my studio everyday, let’s just talk, I have done alot of things in my life andwalked away from them pretty easily My identity is so many things, “When I think of defining ourselves in ourselves in opposition to other forces.” I have done photography for a long time, before that I tried one thing after another, trying to cook, trying to find out could I draw, write, play music. From cooking to piano to photography. In terms of my curiosity and passion and obsessive compulsiveness of that thing. Taking a class on planting design. I spend time thinking about plants and plants design, how are they created and sustained. I am curious about other things. What could be the future of my curiosity, what do you suggest exploring. You have to do it, do you have to work. I might this be more than plants, more about relationships in my community, working with someone. Concern for environment and future. There is a parallel, its a relationship concern, how do I relate to other humans, what i want to learn. How do i relate to my environment, does what I plant make a difference. If its just beautiful and needs to support the ecosystem. The idea of how I fail is difficult for me, up until then, I was looking at it, like “wouldnt’ be be cool if”. You need to enjoy the process - Ididnt make choices based on safety, i do get a little single midned, i need to see things to the end. I had no idea that there was a linkage between the two.
