Wander

That decision—to stop, to look, to frame—is an act of acknowledgement. How close should I move? What belongs inside the frame, and what must be left out? Much of that choice rests on instinct. I make these photographs with my iPhone, then spend considerable time editing and refining them—shaping tone, light, and atmosphere so the images can stand on their own, whether viewed on the screen or as finished archival prints. It’s a slow process, rooted in craft and attention. Most images I select remain part of the ongoing visual journal. A small number of those become archival pigment prints or small Wander prints.

If I’m fortunate, what remains is something enduring—images that serve as vestiges of a life once lived. Below is a growing collection of photographs from the Wander Series. You can browse the work in a lightbox, filter by interest (on tablet and desktop}, and follow the project as it continues to evolve.

New images often appear first in my free monthly newsletter—shared as the work evolves, before some are selected for the web or for print. If you’d like to follow the series as it unfolds, you’re welcome to join.
