photo a day.

"the holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than
it takes people to look at it" – Banksy


come take a look into my world, these are my explorations, studies, & snapshots, my continuous photographic journal. i'm a 20-something graphic designer & photographer who is daily discovering that life is more absurd, hilarious, confusing, and beautiful than i ever thought possible. I hope to create images that are truly worth looking at, and that capture a bit of the beauty that surrounds me every day. Please check back daily.

I’d love to hear from you, whether it's just to say hello, to propose a collaboration, or make a suggestion, do email me

today is quite special. my darling n. was born 25 years ago today. she’s been a part of my life for over 7 years now, and i look forward to 70 more (yes, i do plan on living to at least 95). I’ve said it so many times before, but it is no less true, so much of who i am today is because of you, you have encouraged, inspired, and loved me endlessly. Thank you for always pushing me forward and being such a massive part of my life. happy birthday darling.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
