About Me
I am a junkie, and my drug is street photography. Since 2014, I have been walking thousands of miles in urban centers, documenting how I see the world. The many years working as a street mime have strongly influenced his photographic voice. I am trained to anticipate and respond to human behavior to make people laugh. So it’s no surprise that many of my street photos are quirky, funny, and satirical. I recently joined the Candid City Street Photography Collective, whose members are all based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Why make photos like this? I see many people walking around urban centers without paying too much attention to what’s happening around them. Most people stare at their phones, make phone calls, or listen to music. They’re not present or living in the moment. I hope my photos are a wake-up call. I want people to look at my photos and think, “Maybe I should spend less time on my phone and more time observing life around me.”
Look at the award winners and finalists of well-known and respected national and international street photography competitions, and you will likely see some of my photos. Moreover, my photos have been widely published in magazines and books. More details are available in the Awards, Publications, and Group Shows sections.
What’s next for me? I hope to publish a book (or zine), develop photo projects, participate in more gallery exhibitions, and secure more commercial work where street photography is the desired style. I recently joined the Candid City Street Photography Collective, whose members are all based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
