This is a growing archive of my »Field Notes«. Once every season, I share a handful of select photographs and observations from my practice. My hope is that these dispatches offer a bit of quiet aesthetic variety; if you’d like to receive the next one, you are welcome to join.

Making the extraordinary within the ordinary visible for others always is a very exciting process.

It never seizes to amaze me how, by moving some furniture around and thus creating a carefully designed context for the subject, photography can condense the many facets of a personality into a still image.
