Based in Las Vegas, I shoot film because I like the way it makes me slow down. Most of what I photograph is the desert — the highways, the light, the quiet stretches of nothing that somehow feel like everything. I'm drawn to the space between places, the in-between moments that digital tends to rush past.
When I'm not out shooting, I work in tech. This site is a place to share what I see through the viewfinder.
