"These were two individuals I never got to know, perhaps never wanted to, and now never will."

I’m incredibly proud to announce that my first personal photo essay, Fabian and Rose, has been published by Southern Cultures, as part of their Home series.

Fabian and Rose
I lied. My grandmother asked if I wanted to take their portrait, and I said yes. It’s not that I didn’t like my grandparents; it’s that I don’t take portraits of strangers. Standing at the front door…

An echo of utility, weathered,
worn,
on the road to Fano.

Yesterday
was a missed connection
it sure should have been
your chipped tooth
wet eyes
thinning hair
still salty from the San Francisco air
lucky me tonight
that Currin opening
that coat check line

That’s how I turn from you
If ever a time
I don’t want
your Tito’s stammer
if ever a moment
you stumble from your slick perch
on the stairwell
above me
that time is now
It’s how one turns to two

This evening of the lunar eclipse
it seems right jumping into your Mark six
wind blew, thunder struck
I know
this has happened before
lightning chasing the clouds
electric grey
an inescapable shimmer in the distance
the Scarlet Macaw, room eight

Off the interstate, four miles down the state highway, there’s a dead end road…

Today, I was greeted at dawn with the first snow of the season. There was just enough light to catch the edges of the flakes, each one seemed to be illuminated from within.

It reminded me of my project about William Bartram, using mica to tell his story.

Driving through Middle-of-Nowhere, Italy, I discovered two forgotten gas pumps, their displays somehow still glowing.

A set of orange eyes looking back at the quiet road that led me there.

Surely there are others who are captivated by car washes like I am?

The garish colors.

The onomatopoeic typography.

The simple promise.

Somewhere in rural Georgia, someone in a cheap hotel also woke up to this.

It’s powerful to think about photography as a way of having a conversation with people I’ll never talk to.

I've been told countless times that humor is "hard" to do right in photography. I think if we pay attention, everyday humor is all around us.
