Before I got busy with photography as a career, self portraits were the thing that “saved me” during a time when nothing made sense, everything was drastically changing all around me, and every moment seemed to be made of porcelain… delicate and fragile.

self portrait Starting over. Survival. Instincts. Breaking things down to the bare bones, to the essence. The reasons why. The reasons why not. Knowing what is best, right. Knowing what is harmful. Quietly self destruct. Privately reconstruct. Finding all the pieces Sneaking away to a place that is clean Where words nurture and kind hearts...

Hi guys! I wanted to let you all in on a video project I’m going to be working on… as I’ve written music on piano from right around the age of 8, I’ve decided to start sharing with the world in video form using my old YouTube account (that was originally intended to share photography...
Now that I’ve had a chance to reflect, let the excitement wear off, and resume normal life activities again… here two months later I’m sharing with you my photo journal from my first NYC experience. The trip came about after chatting with my client and dear friend Michael Merritt. We decided to spend a couple of...
Crystal Clear: What’s evil, what’s fear Who’s real Who’s been there all along Who’s strong Who’s only waiting for you to mess up Who will actually take the time to see [more than what they want to see or thought they saw initially] Crystal Clear: The wars of words and lies are...
