It’s funny man.. I was talking to my therapist recently and she told me that there ain’t much that makes me sound so excited and bright as when I’m talking about photography. That was cool to hear because truly, it’s easily my favorite thing on the planet to do. I feel naked when I leave the crib without a camera (which I rarely do lol, but still). I love to capture the world, my people, strangers, excitement, unseen minor moments, all of it and everything in between. I been at this for like 20 years in some form or fashion and the passion still growing more each day.

Random thoughts of the day, but here we are. 📸🎞️

Portland, Maine through my eyes — part one. It’s a slower city, so I wanted to capture it with a much slower process using my Contax RTS. Every corner of the city seemed to be scenic and made for great photography. 📸🎞️

What better way to test a camera than a vacation? Took my new iPhone 18 Pro on a spin to see how far I could push it and the first shots are gorgeous.

Shot in RAW on the @apple iPhone 18 Pro, before all edits.

Fatherhood at the Seaport 📸 I wish I could have gotten this photo to them in time, but I loved to see Black fatherhood at play on such a beautiful day.

I did a quick trip to Chicago this past week and decided to test out my newest camera, the Contax RTS. So here’s a little bit of Wacker, the Riverwalk and surrounding areas on film 🎞️

My thoughts on the art of candid photography, my overall approach, building rapport with your space and how photographers can do it with a bit more respect.
