Self-isolation and quarantine have led me down the path of experimenting chemically with my film supplies as something to reinvigorate my love for the analog medium.

Portrait Session – Maggie

Maggie and I have been friends and occasional roommates since college. We got together on a November Sunday afternoon to shoot a casual portrait set. I wanted to work on my composition and lighting, and also wanted more practice working with a person. I'm continuing to experiment to try to figure out exactly what it … Continue reading Portrait Session – Maggie →

Portrait Session – Alex, pt. 1

I met Alex through work on a long road trip to northern Minnesota and back. Though the course of our trip, besides discussing pedestrian infrastructure and the minutia of our individual engineering day jobs, we also discussed our outside-of-work selves. Alex is an occasional burlesque performer, who advocates for non-binary and disability visibility through their … Continue reading Portrait Session – Alex, pt. 1 →

Epson Perfection V600

I used to be a musician and always resisted the temptation to fall in to the mentality of 'gear head' - someone who over-collects gear and tech to enhance their art just by means of having compared to those who do not have. In my photography, I try very hard to fall in to this … Continue reading Epson Perfection V600 →

Photo Set: Plant Life

Many of my images in the middle of my film rolls consist of flora and fauna. I walk to work almost every day and always try to photograph things that are interesting to me, and in most cases it's the plants I pass. Plant images show up between 'events' in my life - when I … Continue reading Photo Set: Plant Life →
