Late 30s. Photographer, writer, composer. Woe-betide-thee prophet of the present day. He/him. Toronto.

These images are portents of doom: missives from the hidden world within our world. Feel shame and terror, please. But boost them if you like them.
terrible beauty.

Toronto. January 27th, 2025.
We have come to see in ourselves such a terrible beauty. The furnace of a star, the emptiness of space, the sharpness of the predator’s teeth.

nothing new.

Toronto. December 14th, 2024.
We look with new eyes upon a new world, ready to become a void.

This issue of feminine identities not being allowed to express rage has been a hurdle in my photography work, as feminine models are often uncomfortable or unfamiliar with expressing rage, which is central to my concept. They're used to being asked not to truly emote.
I hope one day, I get to step into a character that lets me explore rage.

Feminine identities aren't often allowed that--it's usually discouraged. And most of my work has been variations of cold neutrality, or angst. I want a writer to ALLOW me to be angry. To challenge me to face and embrace it.

A body knows better than to think when the void most requires being.

oh you know, bad photographers on deviantArt, posting 15-year-old photos of good models who have never worked with them since.

I think there was a point in February or March of last year where I was only three or four shoots behind on editing. 8.5 currently. Oh what a dream t'would be, to catch up.

It was probably the discovery of Weird Al’s “In 3-D” on vinyl in a milk crate on our back porch. And then again when I heard “I Am the Walrus” on the Beatles Anthology.
Tell me about a moment when you encountered music and knew your life would never be the same?
1st time I saw the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video on 120 minutes remains easily one of the top 5 watershed moments in my life.

There is a certain joy in flinging a handful of gelatinous goo at someone, and being met with a gleeful squeal.

an exchange.

Toronto. December 7th, 2025.
We offer nothing, in the hope of becoming some greater nothing. A void for a void from a void.

Our welcome is not guarded by insecurity, but the knowledge that others may be ruled by their own.

divine mismatch.

Toronto. October 19th, 2024.
The incongruity of our desire and our receipt does not diminish the desire. Not at all.

Toronto. October 4th, 2024.
Each body is always at its most present, while the mind may go elsewhere. It is a struggle to unify them.

Is it normal for people to treat a pharmacist like a walk in clinic, to just ask about random ailments?
November 8, 2025 at 10:00 PM
It has been a huge bummer turning down working with models I *like* because they're trying to maintain anonymity by obscuring their face. Like, I would like to work with them, but without a face to express, it's not going to be what I need from it to feel like a successful shoot.

choosing bliss.

Toronto. September 29th, 2024.
Bliss is not simply ignorance. It is also a willful lie to the self. A decision to choose comfort over knowledge.

There is no way this is really possible, but the rise of global fascism feels like yet another way for boomers to shit on millennials.
