Knowledge Equality or I like to say the “5% Day”. Meaning to know that your mind is equal to the teachings that was set in motion by the Man himself. Got a chance to get with my brothers who I haven’t seen in a while as well as meet some for the first time. All minds are one! Peace! @hmedinayouthoffice @sirius_mathematics_allah

New York isn’t just a city I photograph.

It’s a city that keeps introducing me to people.

Leica NYC, May 2025.

Still sitting with the fact that an image born from the anxiety of my career has found permanence inside a Leica Gallery New York book.

It doesn’t quite feel real, even though I find myself flipping through its pages every few hours just to make sure it actually happened.

What this experience has reminded me more than anything is the importance of tangible things. In a world that moves faster every day, there’s something sacred about holding a photograph, a book, or a print in your hands. Something that asks you to slow down and stay awhile.

It’s also made me appreciate the people in my corner—friends, family, mentors, and many of you on the internet who have supported my work long before moments like this arrived. The love you’ve shown me means more than any publication ever could.

Because of that, I wanted to create a way for more people to live with the work, not just scroll past it.

Today, I’m launching Club ZTM — a monthly print subscription that makes collecting my imagery as accessible as a matcha latte. Each month you’ll receive 2x postcards made of my imagery, field notes, and the exact shadow-work prompt that inspired the image itself.

My hope is simple: that these photographs don’t just hang on your wall, but become part of your life. The same way this image became a huge part of how I navigate the world and my many emotions.

Link in bio if you’d like to join the club.

We made a book.
And printed work lasts longer than we do.
Overjoyed to have overseen this project.
It’s always been about community and ours centers around the power of storytelling through the practice of photography.

I wish you all could have been there. But it’s all good. There’s still so much more to come.

Shout out to my sister @cherissmay for this image.

1. Leica 100 // New York : this book was a real labor of love. Thank you to all that made it possible.

2. The photography is only part of the story. The lived experience that we glimpse in the work gives it meaning through time.
Shout out to the legend Willie Way for first allowing me to photograph him. Secondly for coming in to see himself celebrated in the book. Amazing to share that moment with you sir.

3. Michael Foley and I built this project from the ground up. We started a year ago and here we are. This image is the two of us taking delivery the Leica 100 book project and it was captured by @felix.vollmann .
We must thank everyone that made this possible.

4. There were 36 photographers represented in this project. And that’s only a small sample of what our community looks like. Crazy thing; this community is bigger than we even realize. You’re a part of it. Even if we haven’t met yet.

5 & 6 Bookend what this is and where we are. Sorry if I missed an add; I can only do so many.
Much love to all. Shout out to these memories.
Pick up your camera, capture some more.

Peace, peace, peace

Gordon Parks taught us the heart determines the photograph. Not the eye.

Courage gives imagination somewhere to stand. Imagination gives courage somewhere to go. What the heart sees is both held together.

Witnessed. Part five.

@knowledge_bennett walks with both. At @photoville he gave his time and his attention to my high school photography students. He spoke with them about the work and the life of an artist. He honored them as young artists already in the practice.

This is what courage and imagination look like when they walk in a man. Generosity. Presence. Combined with the decision to invest in the ones coming after.

Tomorrow @leicagalleryny, Knowledge stands among the artists for the @leica_camera 100 vernissage.

Witnessed holds the encounter between artists who recognize each other across distance and discipline.

Commissions open. Limited edition prints available.

DM me the words FRAME BY FRAME to begin the conversation about a creative collaboration, portrait session or a print for your wall.

In 2025, Leica celebrated its centenary worldwide—twelve galleries celebrated by pairing a Leica Hall of Fame winner with a contemporary talent. In May, Leica Gallery New York hosted an exhibition with Bruce Davidson and Sara Messinger.

To commemorate this milestone, we created the Leica 100—a special publication and exhibition featuring the most compelling photographs from our Centennial weekend celebration in the Meatpacking district of New York City. Join us on May 28th @leicagalleryny for the opening of the exhibition. Learn more via the link in our bio.

Hit up @photoville and spent some time with some OG legends, some new legends, and legends in the making.

@reallouismendes let me take a portrait and asked me why I didn’t use a flash - told him I hadn’t tried it on medium format yet so he took a flash head out of his briefcase and put it on my Mamiya and I grabbed another picture of him with it (2nd photo of him in carousel)

Got to meet @michelleagins with @renaissanceman @zaitoldme and @knowledge_bennett

Spent quality time with Philly street King @shansnapz and we both photographed @jetsetterproblems who had my fave installation at Photoville. And got to meet the good folks at @vsco - it was a great day
