When the streets become unbearable I’m not so good with words, but that’s probably why I love photography. I can let the photos I make speak for themselves. The death of George Floyd, back in May of last year, hit me hard. So much so that I went out a did what I usually do when stress becomes unbearable, I make pictures. I grabbed my Nikon F and Nikon FE, grabbed some HP5 and FP4, and headed out to clear my mind, and see what I could create. While stopping at some familiar spots in downtown Colu...

Endless distractions Our vision of people today is modified through...

A chance encounter We started to make this work roughly ten years ago, after a chance encounter on a photo sharing platform.

I, like many others I'm sure, want to be a great photographer.
