Photo of me taken by Davin Risk. Image inspired by William Eggleston (Girl in Grass).
Thank you for visiting my little self-indulgent space on the internet. This site had its start as an online sketchbook back in Jan 2003 and quickly turned into a sort-of photoblog as my camera and film addiction grew. I try and post a new picture everyday. Sometimes these pictures are accompanied by words relating to the image or random thoughts from my mind. These are by no means my BEST pictures. I chose what to post here more on a whim rather than as a need to feature The Best. I LOVE film and square photos.
I take pictures. I am a graphic designer, a gardener, and a writer. I make things with my hands.
A selection of prints are available here for purchase. There is also a 2007 calendar featuring garden photos and writing.
