Day 4 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / NYC @theo_stanley Images can have a visceral affect on my body. We are now bombarded by imagery, and counter-intuitively, it has not been a numbing experience for me, but rather one of greater sensitivity, with further awareness of the consequences as our mind and body receive …
Day 4 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / Nyc @theo_stanley I wanted to share a portrait of Nova @_noviart at 13 years old, my eldest child, and one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I should choose my words carefully though, as I have 4 daughters ️, that we may see some more of …
Day 4 – visual diary by Theo Stanley / NYC @theo_stanley It’s interesting how images resonate differently in time, as the signifiers and political landscape change, not always for the better. Nyc is a city that points to everywhere in the world, and I love that about its visual narrative. Here, two women stand both …
Day 3 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley People are both wonderful and strange, and make odd decisions, about their lives, and spaces.

Day 2 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley The light in nyc has its own rhythm based on the season, the particular neighborhood and color palette, as well as the height of the buildings that cut and reflect the sun. Most of my time during the week to give to photography is being out …
Day 2 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley Terminal light. Self portrait. It’s annoying how the word selfie has muddied the amazing history of self portrait work in photography. Self portraits can be documents of age and time and place, but also can be more conceptual interior views, searching for equivalents in images that …
Day 2 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley Nyc. Breaking images. Tools both help and get in the way by offering possibility with a set of restrictions. I enjoy finding the edges of the technology, and experimenting with ways to get it to offer up techniques that it was not exactly designed to do, …
Day 1 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanleyThis image kept staring at me during a meeting, and persisted until the meeting wrapped and I was able to capture it.
