“Highs and Lows”
2022
Letting the flowers and leaves wilt in studio after photographing them started as an accident, but became and interesting way to tell stories and convey feelings that I think we all identify with.

“Things We Lost”
2022
This photograph was part of a botanic study in 2022, that slowly morphed into telling stories with leaves and flowers. The story told here is one of profound loss and compassion.

“Three Sisters”
2022
The leaves of the sugar sumac are very expressive and full of personality. I photographed these three separately and felt like they belonged together. They remind me of my wife Alesia and her two sisters. Just like the sugar sumac, they’re resilient as hell.

“Together”
2022
This photograph was a byproduct of a flower study in 2022. When for some reason I became a target for anti-trans activists who harassed me a little through social media, I made this piece and sold prints as a fundraiser for a couple of inclusive orgs that support trans youth.

“Portrait of a Pisces”
2025
Portrait of a Pisces is a glimpse into the ethereal mind of a Pisces. Fluid, dreamlike, and full of emotion, colors swirl like half-formed thoughts, memories blur into feeling, and within this cloud of consciousness, we catch a fleeting reflection.
