Familiar Paths, New Angles
I tend to traverse the same paths. My commute between home and work, the errands I run around town, and the tracks of my life are generally through streets that I'm very familiar with because I'm on them with such frequency. The trick is keeping my eyes open — a trick I'm still practicing most
The Loyalists, "Decision Baby Makes Moustache" [Music Video]
I play bass in a busted noise rock band called The Loyalists. We’ve been together for a while, put out two albums, played some shows. We've also spent plenty of time not doing anything. Anyway…
My bandmate Colin, who plays cello and guitar and writes most of the songs, is also a filmmaker, and from time to
Happy Accidents: Expired Film Fail
Some months back, I had a few rolls of film developed, and added a few shots to the black and white film gallery.
Most of these photos were shot between April and July of 2017, I finally had the film developed in early August, and then immediately left the country for a couple weeks. When I returned, I didn’t
Barcelona & Bilbao | 2017
In August I spent a couple weeks in Spain, mostly in Barcelona, with a few nights in Bilbao, and a day trip to Figueres.
Throughout the two week trip, I snapped about 1100 pictures with a Nikon D7200, then boiled all those down to a couple dozen keepers.
This should go without saying, but these photos do not even come
Los Angeles | 2017
I went to LA for a few days in July on a sort of mini vacation, to catch up with friends, eat, drink, wander around... pretty much find the sweet spot between vacation levels of lazy, and still doing cool stuff.
That weekend was really hot, like 100 degrees, in absolutely dead air, where I was staying — with friends in
Two Houses on Carmel Point
I spent a few days down the coast a couple weekends back, during that time I did some morning hiking through the streets and around the perimeter of Carmel Point. At the outermost edge of the Point, on Scenic Drive right in the middle of Carmel Bay, these two houses face out to the Pacific, sitting perched on low cliffs
Lightroom for iPhone & "RAW" Camera Photos
I started learning and using Adobe Lightroom in earnest recently, and part of the deal with it is included apps for mobile devices. I was discussing some of the finer points of LR with a buddy who works at Adobe, and he told me that, on newer iPhone models, the native LR camera shoots in a "RAW" mode
Thoughts on Saraceno & Sultan at the SF MoMA
One of my favorite perks of working in the City is the SF MoMA. I have a membership (totally worth the cost if you go with a guest just twice in a year), and enjoy the benefits of it as often as I can. Just strolling the collection early on a weekend morning before the crowds swell, or a Thursday

Ride the Trashheap of Sound by The Loyalists
The Loyalists played a show at Winter's Tavern in Pacifica, CA a couple weeks ago (with our friends and rad bands The Tunnel & Color TV), and to celebrate we released another song off our forthcoming second album, Ride the Trashheap of Sound. This one's a lot less
Black & White Film
Several months ago, I dusted off and got back to shooting with a mid 1970s Minolta XE-7, loaded with Kodak T-Max 400 black and white film, through a 50mm lens. I think the recipe works well, I've always liked the results. I'm a sucker for this camera — I've had one since I was 19,
