This love is not for cowards is a photographic book documenting lived experiences from 2003 to 2018. Its images capture fleeting moments and enduring stillness across North America and Europe, from the intimate serenity of vacant architecture to the dramatic scale of national parks. The individual photographs and the juxtapositions created by the book’s design prioritize the impressionistic rather than the journalistic. The intent is to activate sense memories, first to recall what it felt like to be in those places at those times, and later to reflect on how these moments have become part of a personal language of love, longing, death, and beauty.
