Someone once told me they didn't consider photography art. When I thought about it, I realized something. Photography is as close to a form of practical time travel as we've gotten, so far. No other form of documentation exists that is as definitive as a photo. So maybe photography isn't art.

Very thankful to have met and photographed all the people I have so far, among many other things in my life.
The final product is always the tip of the iceberg, all the things that it takes to get there remain under the surface.
I see your hard work. Keep going.

Thinking about this shoot with Devi from 2017. It was at the San Francisco Columbarium.

Not sure if I've ever posted these, as they're not film. They are some experimental digital shots from 2017. I put some liquid latex on my lens to achieve this effect. Model is Juno LTK

"Bright Light at Russell's Corners" by George Ault.
This is my favorite painting. Something about it has always just resonated with me. It may be the heavy use of negative space.

Bosch. This is one of my favorite paintings. It always trips me out that it looks like there are skyscrapers in the background.
