BEFORE THE WAR

TABLOIDS

Personally, I’m sick of looking at photos in isolation on tiny screens. So a few times a year, I publish long-form photo and documentary projects as tabloid newspapers. More and more, these are original stories that do not exist on the web or anywhere else. It’s fun for me and, maybe, fun for you.

Best friends with a robot?

ABOUT

I'm an independent documentary photographer based in New York's Capital Region. My work, whether in photos, words, or both, often explores themes of wonder and mystery, with a heavy dose of folklore and pop-pulp fascination. I studied journalism and anthropology at Syracuse University, and proudly served in the United States Peace Corps.

I’m available for events, weddings, etc.
