Info/Contact
My interest in photography started in college like most "passions" do. I borrowed my father’s old Nikon FE2 and took a class, shooting black and white snapshots of trees, friends, graffiti, rocks, etc. I eventually lost access to that darkroom, but never stopped practicing.
In the decade since then, I have experimented constantly and have photographed everything from live music to sports to commercial properties. Over time, I have been continually drawn to documenting communities, especially those undergoing or working toward change.
I currently live in and document Portland, Oregon.
In addition to my personal documentary projects, I am happy to offer commercial, lifestyle, and portrait photography. In my spare time, I enjoy the classic Portland pastimes of cycling, drinking coffee, and baking bread (and sometimes cookies).
