Photographs from around the places I call home — and wherever else seems worth stopping.

The archive
Old work deserves a home too.
A growing collection from different cameras, different years, and different versions of me. Photographs worth keeping don't have to disappear onto an old drive.

I photograph whatever makes me stop and look twice.
Wildlife, old buildings, big landscapes, small details — there isn't much of a theme beyond curiosity. I've been messing with photography since I was a kid. In the late ’90s, I had a darkroom under the stairs and learned photography by building and shooting a pinhole camera. Cameras have changed quite a bit since then. The reason I pick one up really hasn't. This site is where I keep the photographs that are worth remembering.
