I enjoy discovering the world through the lens of my analog 35mm camera, capturing breathtaking moments from the serene beauty of National Parks to the vibrant landscapes of Hawaii and Iceland. Using a traditional, film-based camera is both enjoyable and challenging, providing a welcome chance to slow down, take care, and realize my creative intentions.
What is Letter 18?
I designed ‘Letter 18’ as a self-identity, a creative asset representing myself as a designer. My full name is Russell Robert Ryan. I view initials as glyphs that go beyond simple identification, representing personal significance.
In Western society, initials represent ownership, legal identity, and agreement. The 18th letter of the alphabet forms the foundation of my identity. The flowing, cursive type adds a touch of sophistication.
