Welcome To My Photo Journal

 

I like to take pictures.

The best way to use this website is to start at the first post and scroll through it, then use the link at the bottom to go to the next one, then the next, until you have to take a break.

That way, the journal will take you through my whole life in photos, starting from my college freshman-year Intro to Darkroom Photography class, and ending with my present life in Los Angeles.

I’m not a professional photographer, although I have dabbled a little in the past. Taking photos is just something I love to do.

Like anyone, I’ll naturally take photos of the things I’m interested in that are around me in the moment. Over time, this forms a sort of diary of my life and primary concerns in any given year.

So I think you can truly get a glimpse at my real honest life by seeing what’s reflected in the photos I chose to take.

I actually have a whole degree in film, plus a collection of antique cameras. So in a technical sense I have expertise here, but I don’t really think about it anymore, and I certainly don’t use that education professionally.

Similarly, I’m a professional luxury brand marketer and proficient in SEO, but I’m not trying to monetize this site or turn my pastime into any sort of big content play on this site.

My photography is purely a hobby, and this site exists purely for my own artistic pleasure.

Here’s a list of all the posts on the site, with the most recent at the top:

And here’s a list of the types of film and cameras and things I shoot with:
