I’ve Disguised The Scale

Street art in the Christchurch CBD. I’ve disguised the scale by cropping close – this takes up the entire side of a multi-level building.

Fulfilment Of A Longtime Wish

June 2019 //
Straight out of camera: a beautiful sunset that prompted me to pull my car to the side of the road as I drove from Zion National Park to St. George, Utah. I didn’t know it at the time, but there was a frosty Lagunitas IPA in my immediate future – the perfect cap to a day that had included fulfilment of a longtime wish: to do the Angels Landing trail.

Bass Player In A Grunge Band By Night

Not everybody in Seattle is an accountant by day and the bass player in a grunge band by night, but that’s certainly everybody’s aesthetic.

A Process With No End

December 2019 //
Photography activates my anxiety in a very specific way. I love learning; am an advocate of always trying to improve oneself. Learning my camera and developing my photographic skill is a process with no end – a notion that is simultaneously exciting and overwhelming. When, for instance, I find myself faced with a scene such as the one I encountered as I drove toward Mount Cook, I worry that my skill is not up to the task – that I may never see this vista again and I won’t adequately capture it; that the opportunity will slip through my fingers.

But you know what? Whether the photo is good or bad never seems to matter in the end, because the task of composing the photo becomes embedded in the memory of which the photo becomes a record. In that way the photo always ends up being good enough for me, and that’s kind of what it’s all about.
