Collector's Edition is a compilation of familiar moments, ephemeral installations, and fleeting coincidences from Bay Area flea markets, shot on medium format film between 2018 and 2023. It's a collection of the humanity and creativity that makes these places special — cars draped in vintage rugs, a dresser teetering on an undersized shopping cart, folks fumbling with their precious new finds. 72 pages
Hell Hill is a collection of 35mm film photographs from Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve in the Oakland hills. What started as a camera test before a Japan trip that never happened became something else entirely — a quiet document of time, place, and isolation during the early years of COVID, when the hill became one of the few constants in a suddenly very small world. 36 pages.
