Thanks Casey! If you’re interested, I’m giving a talk next Wednesday about the essay.

Fabian and Rose I lied. My grandmother asked if I wanted to take their portrait, and I said yes. It’s not that I didn’t like my grandparents; it’s that I don’t take portraits of strangers. Standing at the front door…

"These were two individuals I never got to know, perhaps never wanted to, and now never will."

I’m incredibly proud to announce that my first personal photo essay, Fabian and Rose, has been published by Southern Cultures, as part of their Home series.

Beautiful colors.

That’s a really nice image. I enjoy the colors quite a bit.

Wish I could join! Hope it’s a fantastic event.

Well that’s pretty stunning.

We live in a pretty special place.

Thanks!

I'll have to check it out!

That’s so cool - I love new ways of making visuals. I’ve been experimenting the last several years with using the code of digital photography as a starting point for new photographs.

I’d love to know your process!

Welcome! Love your work.

Very pretty. It’s pretty awesome that we have (at least) three fantastic glass studios in our little town.

Understood! I’ll be on the lookout for a piece of yours that feels right. :)

I’m building a house in Fairview right now and I’m now convinced that I need to commission something from you. 🤔

If you make art for everybody, you’re probably not making it for the right reasons.

I’d rather have unique than popular any day!

Yeah it’s hard with Asheville being such a tourism-based economy, finding the right balance of community/vibe.

I love the earth tones - I just wasn’t sure what stage the photo was depicting them in. The designs are fantastic.
