I capture images. Fragile impressions of the world around me. And this is a place where I share them.

Orange Blossom Reverie

Down here in the land of alligators and orange blossoms, late summer induces a sort of somnambulant reverie. Whitney and I made a lookbook from this state of repose, the sort of attire needed for a world gone past warm.

Outfit 1 - Orange cutout bodysuit, white skort with silver detail. Shoes - tan suede boots with 2inch block heel Outfit 2 - Blue satin romper by Superdown. Outfit 3 - White tank with four button clasp by Asos, Jean shorts by Levi's. Model - Whitney Mecca

“We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the neverending contest in ourselves of good and evil. And it occurs to me that evil must constantly respawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal. Vice has always a new fresh young face, while virtue is venerable as nothing else in the world is.” ― John Steinbeck #makeportraits #postthepeople #choosetampa #tampaphotographer #floridaphotographer #fujiframez #fujifilm #einstein #portraitsociety

Time runs alternatively faster and slower in the summer heat. This is true most any place, but it is particularly true in the swampy morass that is Florida's southern half. The air here steams and simmers and drives us all a trifle mad. - From the land of gators. #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #shootfilm #makeportraits #postthepeople #tampaphotographer #floridaphotographer #choosetampa #coastalfilmlab #kodakhr500 #kodakfilm #pentax67 (at Seminole Heights)

Back from my social media slumber. Woo. So much work to go through and post. In the meantime, here's a photo of a friend sitting in a bush. #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #makeportraits #postthepeople #tampaphotographer #mamiya #coastalfilmlab #acros100 (at The Tampa Riverwalk)

Been slowly working through my first live music video, shot with this guy here. Growing creatively is exciting and terrifying all at once. Thanks @e.cbarnes for pushing me to be better that I thought possible. Incidentally, this was shot on Kodak Pro Image 100, which is an amazing lesser known film! #makeportraits, #postthepeople #35mm #filmisnotdead #leicam6 #voigtlander #believeinfilm #pakon #kodakfilm (at Charleston, South Carolina)

Continuing my series of goofy photos of famous photographers that I started with my portrait of @littlebrownmushroom. This is @platon. You were utterly inspiring man. Thanks for letting me take a portrait this playful. #fujiframez #makeportraits #postthepeople

"The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable." - Rabindranath Tagore Very out of character photo of my musician friend Mwiza, who, despite appearances here is pretty much perpetually smiling. First roll of Ektachrome I've shot and naturally I forgot to bring my meter. Ah well. #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #pentax67 #slidefilm #ektachrome #makeportraits #postthepeople #tampaphotographer #floridaphotographer #portraitsociety (at Riverside Heights)

"And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?" - C.S.

Trying out new things...going new places. Now is a season for adventure and risk and being overwhelmed, and I wouldn't have it any other way. #fujiframez #xseries #xpro2 #makeportraits #postthepeople #tampaphotographer #portraitsociety #portraitphotography (at Tampa's Downtown)
