Wander

About The Wander series:
I’ve always been a wanderer. I feel most at home off the beaten path—on quiet streets, open fields, and tucked-away corners of the world. Wander is my living journal of what I notice and what stays with me. The series isn’t tied to any specific place or time. It’s more a state of mind—an openness to what I see and feel around me. I respond by taking a picture. The first question is always the same: what is it here that pulls me in?

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 journal. A small number of those become archival pigment 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.

Wander continues beyond this page.

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.

    Cheap Gas
    When I was a kid my dad told me it cost a nickle to go to the movies at my age then. I told my kids when they were quite young, when I was your age, gas was 25 cents a gallon. The past is the past. But looking at old photographs that contain objects and signs from an earlier era is a not so subtle reminder: you're getting older, kid!

    'Kind', the word, perhaps a thought, ingrained upon a weathered structure, easily passed by, not seen, not followed.
