Field Note: Observations from the Streets
These aren’t just snapshots. They’re notes from the field, visual evidence of moments that asked me to pause, reframe, and reflect.
Field Notes is where I document the spaces between. A passerby’s gesture, a forgotten corner of a city, the way light hits a surface at 4:47 PM, each entry holds a trace of motion and memory.
Captured on Leica cameras, these moments are more than photographs. They’re timestamps in a moving world.
I started Field Notes not as a blog, but as a ritual. A place to mark small discoveries. A sketchbook made of shadow, geometry, and instinct.
Each image is paired with a short caption or handwritten thought, part journal, part visual poem.
The goal isn’t perfection. Its presence.
First Installment of COLOR CODED / 001: YELLOW
Yellow isn’t just a color, it’s a signal. In this free downloadable guide, I explore how yellow commands attention, evokes memory, and adds intention to your images. First in the COLOR CODED series.
Thanks for grabbing the first installment of COLOR CODED / 001: YELLOW.
This one's for the photographers who see signals where others see scenery. Inside, you'll find a quick dive into yellow's emotional weight, cultural punch, and how to make it work for your images.
💬 Drop a comment on Instagram (@johnhendrick_photo) or under the blog’s Field Note, would love to hear what stood out. All I ask is that you not share it with anyone directly, if you think someone would appreciate or can find this useful, that you redirect them to the website.
Let’s keep learning, one color at a time.
