It's been over a year since I've shot any live shows. My last indie show was shooting Bottom Bracket in Urbana-Champaign in February 2020, and it feels really special to have them be on the lineup of the first show I shot since live shows began again.

This was a fantastic show with Pelafina and Bottom Bracket. I'm so excited to begin shooting more shows again, especially in my upcoming new home base in Massachusetts.

I hope everyone attending live events is staying safe and healthy, and making the most of the live shows that are popping up more and more as we strive toward a healthier and safer future.

Talk about a killer lineup. Old Sol, Bottom Bracket and Remo Drive put on a fantastic show last night at nightshop. So many friends in one place.

Hey you! I photograph musicians! I specialize in sad ones! Ya know, the emo-punk kinda grubs.
I'm open for clients for spring and summer -- ranging from promos, to concerts & tours, as well as merch photos!

I often talk about limiting yourself as an artist helps refine your work.
Then I go and check out a fourth film camera from school

Tonight is the reception for my first-ever solo exhibition, showing my recent project "Moth".
I am so beyond excited about this

View a handful of images from the different projects I've been working on!

I've been working on three projects? I think?
It's one of those things where your intent is with a few separate projects, but you never really know if they will fuse together or break off into even more projects.
Whatever, check them out if you want. As these projects progress and become more refined, they may end up with their own individual homes on the menu bar rather than in a coagulation of different projects in one gallery.

What could be happening in the next couple days? Who knows...

Blog after blog after blog. I cannot stop.
Happy new year! Read about my new project on my website:

Happy new year! I woke up at around 9:30 a.m. and made the same breakfast I always do. Bacon, eggs, a bagel with an excessive amount of cream cheese, coffee, and an apple. I went to bed happy last night, knowing how much 2018 has brought me, through the good and the bad. With an optimistic outlook
