SUBSTACK

^{December 12, 2025}

<sup>This feels like a full-circle moment.

           I started putting work on the internet back when it was quieter — before apps, before feeds, before everything became optimized for attention. In the early days of Blogger and Flickr, sharing work felt slower and more deliberate. You published something, people found it, and that was enough.

           Then came the long stretch of social platforms. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, etc. All promising connection, reach, relevance. I’ve been on them, adapted to them, updated handles, rewritten bios, chased formats, and watched the rules change in real time. At some point, the work itself started competing with the systems built around it.

           Substack feels like stepping slightly off that treadmill. Not as a rejection of social media — I’m still there, probably in more places than I care to admit — but as a return to something more grounded. A space where images can exist with context, ideas can unfold, and process doesn’t need to be flattened into a caption.

           This publication is a studio journal. A place for work in progress, finished projects, experiments, and the thinking behind them. From photography and visual storytelling to the evolving role of tools, technology, and taste. Less about certainty, more about curiosity.

           If you’re here, thanks for slowing down with me.
