I take photographs.
Some of them are very good.

Commercial, editorial, and portrait work out of Portland, Oregon. Post offices, cherry blossoms, empty roads — photographed when no one's asking. Passport always packed.

A young man with tousled blonde hair gazes directly at the camera with an earnest expression, wearing a navy blue paisley-patterned baseball cap and heather gray t-shirt. The portrait is captured against a clean white backdrop with even, diffused lighting that creates a soft, contemporary mood. His relaxed posture and steady gaze suggest casual confidence, while the intricate paisley design on his cap adds visual texture and cultural reference to the otherwise minimalist composition.
A close-up portrait of pro skateboarder Christiana Means holding a well-worn Nike skateboard deck up to her chin, gazing directly into the camera with a calm, focused expression. She has short dark hair, freckles, and a small lip piercing, and wears a white tank top. A colorful graffiti mural in purple, blue, and yellow serves as the background.
A young Asian man gazes directly at the camera with a composed, contemplative expression against a pristine white backdrop. He wears a distinctive denim jacket adorned with white Japanese characters and telephone numbers embroidered across the chest and sleeve, suggesting vintage workwear or business advertising. The even studio lighting creates soft shadows that define his features while maintaining the jacket's rich blue texture and intricate stitching details.
A portrait of DJ and event producer Peter Marks seated in a darkened music studio, lit dramatically by warm red light. He wears round glasses, a baseball cap, a grey t-shirt, and an open dark shirt. An Oberheim synthesizer and a Roland TR-909 drum machine are visible in the foreground, with additional keyboards and equipment stacked behind him. A red neon triangle glows on the left side of the frame.
Travelers are silhouetted against the vivid backlit art installation "The Sky's the Limit" in the underground pedestrian tunnel connecting terminals at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The curved ceiling and wall panels glow in shifting bands of turquoise, green, and yellow, creating a striking contrast against the dark figures of passing passengers. Their reflections shimmer on the polished floor below.
A vibrant interactive art installation featuring glowing neon geometric shapes, wireframe structures, and heart symbols in blues, pinks, and greens displayed in a dark gallery space. The luminous digital art creates an immersive environment with overlapping transparent panels and geometric forms.
Three Aeroméxico passenger jets are parked in a row on the tarmac at Mexico City International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez), their dark navy tail fins bearing the airline's distinctive Aztec eagle logo receding in perspective from left to right. The aircraft registration numbers XA-DAH, XA-AMK, and XA-CCO are visible on the fuselages. A ground crew worker in a high-visibility vest walks near the closest aircraft, and a small white tug vehicle operates in the foreground. Orange traffic cones and yellow tarmac markings are visible on the dark pavement. Additional aircraft from other airlines are parked in the distance. The sky is pale blue with soft pink-tinted clouds, suggesting early morning or late afternoon light.
