About

I got my first camera when I was eight, a plastic Debonair that was more toy than tool. Something about looking through it stuck with me, and it never really let go.

What draws me back, again and again, is light. Sunrise and sunset most of all, the short window when the sky turns pink and purple and everything ordinary looks briefly unrepeatable. I'll wait for that. I've learned that photography rewards patience more than almost anything else.

Most of my landscape and travel work happens on Nikon, a Z9 and Z7 alongside an older D850, with an FM2N still in the bag as a reminder of where this started, long before anything was digital. When I want to slow down instead, no plan, just working a scene until it feels honest, I reach for a Leica M11-P with a 35mm Summilux. A rangefinder makes you look differently, and I've come to rely on that for street work as much as anything creative.

Lately I've been chasing long exposures, nightscapes at ISO 64, letting the shutter stay open long enough for the sky to show what it's actually doing. The Milky Way is next.
