Jay Maisel
Image

Jay Maisel
Image
There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
Jay Maisel
Image

Jay Maisel
Image
I want to go out as unprepared as possible so I can get filled up with what the world has to offer.
Jay Maisel
Image
Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.
