Here we are at Monday again…Hope you had fun over the weekend! After back to back plans the last few months, I took advantage of the cloudy weather yesterday and just chilled out at home. It was lovely.

I finally got around to editing the last of my Europe photos :( and caught up on some of my favorite blogs. Hours later, I found myself digging through archives on The Selby, all the way back until a collection titled “2010 Favorites” snagged my attention. It was actually that summer, maybe June 2010, when I first stumbled upon the work of Todd Selby, so these photos felt familiar to me in a way. That initial infatuation revealed itself again and I’m feeling inspired to keep my camera on me at all times.

Selby has a way of leading you into someone else’s world for a ‘day in the life’ kind of thing, He invites you into a private space other than our own – without ever implying intrusion. Everything appears to be perfectly candid and in its natural state. Drawn to the quirks, realities, and even the most mundane of details, Selby simply reminds us that we are not the center of the universe.

Who inspires the photographer in you?
