why do you do this blog?

i've been asked this a few times, so i figured i'd explain a little about the genesis and purpose of this blog.

it is partly so i can have opportunities to work on my photography.

it is partly because i like style.

it is partly to meet new people.

i am intrigued by how people become who they are, how they've evolved and why they are the way they are. style is more of a superficial manifestation of this, but at the same time, how you dress and how you present yourself is a big part of who you are.

photographing people and their style for me is a way to capture a slice of who they are. that's why they talk about their style instead of me making commentary.

provo has a mix of people that come from all over the united states as well as the world. some come with the influences of where they grew up, and others are influenced by what's around them, that's why i chose to focus on the microcosm that is provo.

ps. modo (probably pronounced moe-doe or moe-toe) is the latin word for style, hence 'provo modo.'
