about me


Based in San Francisco 

BFA Photography, Shepherd University

The photosounds chapter began in 2017 while hiking in Berkeley’s Tilden Park. The forest sang to me, so I picked up my camera to capture those moments. I discovered that connecting the photos to song titles gave the scenes whole new stories.

 

The resulting photosounds came together in my first book, Tilden: An Epic Photo Poem. And with that book, I discovered my calling:  

I am a photo essayist.

I tell musical stories.

From mountain trails to city streets, I’ve been listening for and recording the photosounds of my northern California home. Sometimes the pairings are obvious and funny, sometimes obscure and profound; they are always thought-provoking. 

 

MY VISION

I hope to become a people mover.

 

MY MISSION

To motivate others to connect with Planet Earth and take actions to protect it. I want photosounds to inspire you to stop and hear the roses; to feel one with your environment, both human-made and nature-made. 

Photography that goes to 11

 

My photography gives more by giving back. Between 10%-100% of profits from my books and prints go to environmental and humanitarian causes. Because we are all connected.
