From Where I Stand
When I started taking my photography more seriously, I used a very simple concept: take a bunch of photos from a single vantage point. Move up, down, and around, but limit your ‘centre’ to a single point. This technique forced me to become more inventive, it forced me to carefully consider things that may not grab my attention right away. So rather than photographing a single subject I began to look for other elements that may not be obvious. I also forced myself to make photos in fairly mundane surroundings, looking for interesting elements.
This became the foundation to much of my photography. I spend a lot of time carefully assessing my surroundings and looking for the best compositions.
The ‘tag’, From Where I Stand has also made me realize that through all the photos I have made in the past several years, I have borne witness to some pretty amazing things, and I look forward to sharing more of them here, along with the stories of their creation.

“In Lisbon, Fado doesn’t just echo through the night — it gathers around tables like this, where a candle flickers, a guitar waits, and every sip and every silence becomes part of the song.” – Ed Lehming On warm summer evenings, within the narrow, winding streets of Lisbon’s Bairro Alto district, warm lamplight…

“Dragonflies dancing above the lake, near the summer’s end — a moment the wind almost forgot to breathe.” – Ed Lehming Nature provides these miraculous moments that take my breath away. They are almost always spontaneous and unexpected. I had just walked along the stretch of beach and never even noticed them. Maybe…
