Still Lives Portal

Photographs are portals into other worlds. I have learned this to be true over the course of a decade making my books. In that time, I have evolved as an artist. Once driven by a simple curiosity to see how creative people lived, I now want to explore and share the deeper truth that the spaces we inhabit have the potential to express and nurture our purest selves. 

I have also come to understand something a bit more basic. Making books takes a long time and I am not the most patient person. It’s a challenge to wait for years to share with you all the wonderful people and places I photograph. Beyond creating images and words about inspiring people and places, my work is not complete until it is shared—otherwise, what is the point?  Still Lives Portal is my place to remedy that. Here, I will be posting new images and essays on a regular basis. Think of it as chapters before they are chapters as well as dips into my archives, outtakes and whatever else strikes me as too good not to share.
