about

I am a photographer based in Long Beach, CA and I specialize in portrait and documentary photography.

My first passion was writing and literature and I think that is what informs a lot of my photos. My literature background gives me the sense of narrative in my photos. I want my photos to tell a story, to intrigue and to provoke.

8 years ago my truck died and I wanted to see if I could get by in Los Angeles without a car. It has made all the difference. I had extra money so I could experiment with photography and that led me to my current career.

It's really as simple as that. I'm not anti-car, but I do believe that we need real transportation options. We don't live on a planet with infinite resources, so I feel that we should reduce and reuse when we can.

For me, I'm taking a road less traveled by being carfree in Los Angeles. And my hope with all this, is that when people see me spinning up a hill with my loaded bike that they are filled with the joy of seeing someone doing good and perhaps be inspired to do good themselves.

Yes. It's unorthodox.

Yes. It's a little crazy thing to do in Los Angeles. However, nothing great is ever accomplished by doing things that are thought to be normal.

I will arrive on time. I will arrive dresed in an appropriate manner.

No, I will not be wearing spandex.
