About

I'm a photographer and engineer from Boston. I shoot portraits, bands, and the places in between — the Middlesex Fells, train tracks, back yards, and blue-hour water. Most of this work is made with friends, natural light, and whatever the day gives us.

The engineering half of my brain shows up in the photography: I care about the details, I deliver fast, and I build my own tools when the existing ones get in the way — including this site.
