Image Diary

This diary provides a place for me to share everyday photographs that aren't necessarily worthy of inclusion in my portfolio, but are still interesting and meaningful to me. This page overlaps a bit with my Instagram feed, both in terms of content and purpose, but I don't think that matters. These images span a multi-year period dating back to 2020. I hope you like what you see! ☮︎

PEOPLE WITHOUT PEOPLE (2025-PRESENT)

I'm calling this gallery "People Without People." It comprises images of found objects, with an eye toward the incongruous, weird, humorous, poignant, quirky and unexpected.
