I see photography as a way of paying closer attention to the world — a practice of noticing what is easy to overlook or take for granted. There are billions of stories all around us, both in wild nature as well as the people who surround our lives, or even in the peculiar way a light decides to bounce around. My work is an invitation to linger with those stories.

My roots are in analog photography. I built my own pin-hole cameras and spent years in the darkroom, developing film and prints by hand. Those experiences inform a lot of what I do now. While I shoot mostly digital today, I run from camera menus and I still much prefer to shoot with cameras and lenses that have the tactile toggles and rings of their analog predecessors. I’m a maker at heart, so I also experiment with creating my own lenses and other hands-on projects.
