Welcome to My Photography Journal
This is a place for photographs.
This is not a portfolio in the traditional sense — no carefully curated best-of collections or client galleries. Just a working journal of images made over time, in the places I find myself, with the cameras and lenses I happen to have with me.
This journal launched in 2026. No posting schedule, no theme of the month, no engagement strategy. Just pictures and the occasional thought about making them. I'll add to it when something feels worth sharing — and hopefully that turns out to be fairly often.
A bit more about the aesthetic, the gear, and what shapes my photography:
Black and White: Color always felt cluttered to me — too much information competing for attention. Strip the color away and something sharper emerges. More structure, more shadow, more honesty — at least by my eye.
Vintage Lenses: These came later, when I started noticing that modern lenses — technically flawless as they are — felt clinical. Too perfect. Too clean. Old glass has character built into it — the way it renders light, the softness at the edges, the slight imperfections that make an image feel like it was made rather than captured.
Cameras That I Use: I currently shoot a Sony a7CR — 61 megapixels of modern sensor, paired with modern glass and occasionally vintage lenses, though high pixel density doesn't always render honestly with older optical formulas. Newer cameras are great and higher pixel density has its place, but I still reach for my older cameras — the a7, a7II, a6400, and a6000 — mostly because their larger photosites mean more natural high ISO rendering, better low light character, and ironically a rendering quality that pairs more honestly with vintage lenses.
Influences: I don't have a single photographer who changed everything for me. What I've come to value is a simple distinction: photographs that are about something versus photographs that are of something. That said, I shoot both — sometimes there's a story or scene that's about something, and sometimes a thing just deserves to be recorded.
