a year of creative blocks, second guesses, small breakthroughs, nervous fits, and several other consequences i’ve learned to expect from choosing to sometimes live life through an intermediary

from the harley davidson homecoming, milwaukee. touring often takes me to events i never even knew existed (the harley davidson homecoming), and places where i would never think to be (milwaukee)

at the same time, this life and its body have taken me to places where i would... absolutely expect it to be

either way, each year i learn how to better recognize/harness the inspiration from the obvious (like seeing cindy lee at massey hall)

in any case, it’s a pleasure/privilege/pastime to get to capture this life this way, and i hope to do it for as long as i can attest to/afford to/feel inspired to

… thanks for following my suggestion!

below is a selection of digital photos from a july tour with sierra ferrell, who became one of my favorite performers out there, despite having little prior familiarity with her music

taken during the brief moments i could steal away from the merch table

and here’s some 35mm photos from september, with mac demarco

a month in which i finally got to pass through radio city (a self-imposed career milestone)…

… a month in which i also realized that some of my milestones had gotten to be a bit outdated

and that there were less likely places out there for my brain and body to be inspired by

like the phoenix theatre in petaluma, ca - a diy space overseen by a 70-year old man and a staff of volunteer skaters

or the definitely haunted mcmenamins grand lodge in forest grove, or

as i mentioned at the top of the page, i spent much of 2025 battling a pervading sense of career skepticism (and probably also a mid-life crisis), but as the year went on i learned to acclimate and honestly appreciate the challenge of working through the feeling. i’m still not over it, but each day it feels a bit more healthy and a bit more essential to what’s next for me.
