I am a husband, father, educator and artist - not always in that order.

The every-day becomes a meandering path that began with certainty, but ends somewhere unexpected. I am interested in what is still in the moments between busy everyday life and the plans for future events. In this work I find connections with subject matter that revolves around the people and spaces I love to those moments of still and quiet I seek. These images explore those connections.
Recalling memories of places and events with family, and finding connections with dream imagery during a summer of sketching, this body of work explores the connections I found between my family, memory, and dreams.
The images on this page are collected from various series or simply from a day's shooting. I have them here in a sort of self curated collection of images I enjoy seeing together.
In this work I have been photographing my daughter with a sense of parental observer and interested bystander. As parent, I find it amazing how the light reveals in her a sense of generations and wisdom that confounds my core as I know her as my kid. As a bystander, I find myself enjoying the ambiguity of what she may be thinking or feeling at the moment I shoot, and see the power in her genuine expression. The images I made explore a sense of narrative that leaves open the point at which you encounter the scene a story. They begin to connect days to weeks, and fold over into what has become a few years of my daughter growing up so quickly. This is why I have titled the series ‘Folded Open’.
More to come soon.
My mom died. She was not sick and was not suffering from any on going issues. It just happened, like a plug being pulled. I am never going to put enough words to my grief, or make any amount of work that could act in a fully cathartic manner for me - I don’t think I will ever get over missing her. But these images explore a beginning of that process, and where it goes from here I hope she would smile about it.
