WARNING: Reading this page may cause reckless daydreaming at work.

This is where you’ll find the good stuff. The behind-the-scenes chaos, the beautiful accidents, the stories that never make it to Instagram. Thoughts about photography, freedom, nudity, art, being alive… and conversations with the wild humans I meet along the way.

Read slowly. Daydream freely. Reality can wait.
