I don't know how to say "here's an interview I did recently" without it sounding weird... and yet... here we are.

I was recently asked in an interview what work of mine I was most proud of. It bothered me that I didn't have a quicker or more definitive answer. Then, as a result of someone reaching out to order a large format statement piece, this morning I was updating some of the prints on my website and realized I'm actually proud of most of my work, it's just that so much of it is viewed in fleeting moments on a phone where it's competing with the bedlam of whatever social media is at that moment.

That anyone would be as inspired by the beauty that keeps a camera in my hand means so much to me - and anytime a print is ordered I really do get a surge of pride, and it's a special way I get to connect with others whom I may not know much or anything about, but that we can share a love for the same scene is really cool.

If there is any artist you enjoy it can't be overstated how much it means to them to move away from the small-swiping-fleeting reality of digital content to a tangible item.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just returned from a 4 day stay at and I was reminded how much I enjoy the central coast weather’s quick-changing variety. I was able to wake up to completely socked in fog out on my patio (which I love), then grab a coffee and watch it as it burns off and the warmth of the sun turns the entire sky peach gold (also love), then throughout the day breaks up into pure blue backdrop with cirrocumulus clouds (so good). Staying at Sirena was also the slow paced, quiet, retreat style that I have come to appreciate far more than something with endless amenities. It’s a property with just a handful of rooms, but spared no expense on the important aspects of comfort. I am thrilled to work with them for the next year. Their Santorini-inspired property served as a perfect subject to focus many of these shots on.

Also, shout out to for developing the filters on my new Mavic 4 Pro. Not getting paid to say that, they are just awesome. As the moisture settled in the day, the way a polarized filter cuts the light so you get the fullness of the green and blue makes so much difference in my photography.

If we saw the hells some people have walked through I’m convinced we’d all be huggers.

“I too at times am filled with so much fear, so much fear, but like a hallway must find the strength to walk through it.
Walk through this with me.
Through this church of blood, bone, and muscle, that is ours
There is a door k**b glowing like chance before you.
Grab it, turn and pull, step through, back straight, chin up, eyes open, hearts loud.“
-Come Closer, Anis Mojgani

Today I turn in my badge.

Over the last 4 months I’ve been in training for chaplaincy work. I feel grateful to have this experience learning better ways to use my silence and my words. I love being with people. What an amazing reminder that every person is like some others, all others, and no other.
