Photographer Ryan Chesla’s photography project “Observations” is an intimate and poignant examination of what motivates him visually throughout his day-to-day adventures. Influenced by the mundane and ultimately inspired by what is often ignored, Chesla presents a snapshot of what he believes society takes for granted. Chesla’s goal for “Observations” is to prompt viewers to slow down, take a moment to absorb all that surrounds them, and truly appreciate the beauty, humor, and simplicity that inundates us on a daily basis.
