When I was little I was never particularly fascinated with fairy tales, or at least no more than I was with several other childlike stories. I never read the fairy tales or saw movies based on them. I never heard a Grimm fairy tale, but instead only knew that they were darker versions of the [...]
When I was little my biggest inspiration was flight. I was never fascinated by airplanes or butterflies or anything like that, but something more personal: human flight. Until I was quite old I believed that every person flies once in their life. This stems from a very lovable lie that my mom told me when [...]
Yesterday as I was sitting at Starbucks I had my computer out, booting it up and signing on the internet. The internet would not connect, despite multiple tries. My intern said to me “What do you want to do online” and my response was “Nothing”. I realized in that instant that I literally did not [...]
I recently had the pleasure of being visited by the [Framed] crew so that they could film an episode on my work for their show. For those who are not familiar with the show, it is a photography oriented show that puts out episodes each week dedicated to all things photography! Sometimes the episodes are [...]
It’s that time again…I thought I’d throw some pics up here that didn’t quite make the cut for one reason or another. They are all in various stages of editing, some are partially edited while others are fully, and some I lost faith in and stopped somewhere in between. I had wanted that last series [...]

I thought that on this lovely Sunday, since my new picture is not ready to be thrown up on Flickr yet, I’d simply share a few pics that aren’t going on Flickr at all…These are a combination of fully edited but just not quite working to only partially edited but abandoned. Even though I recently [...]
For the last 4 days my mom has called asking “When are you going to put something new on Flickr?!”. I had something ready for yesterday that I was very excited about, but the quality of the image was not good enough. It looks fine to me, but upon uploading gets really grainy. Nevertheless, I [...]
I think that a prop can make or break a picture. Prop ideas are endless as well as the ways they can be used. I have a very personal idea of what makes a prop work and what makes a prop look out of place. I see props in two categories: the ones that flow [...]
As I begin work on my next series of photographs, I am confronted with the question of what is popular and what is meaningful. Sometimes it feels as though these two descriptors must be separated, based on the feedback that I see flying around. It seems that, especially because I am thinking of a series, [...]
