  • New York

    Since it’s New Year’s Eve and many Americans will be tuning in to watch the ball drop in Times Square tonight, it seemed like a good time to share my weekend trip to New York from earlier this fall. A friend had an art opening which was the perfect excuse to hop a train and…

  • Badlands, Pt. 4; Mako Sica

    Just a few final images from the Badlands earlier this year: I don’t know about you guys, but I think those rocky spires and crags are just beautiful. Not sure when I’ll be out that way again, but these photos make me want to go back and keep exploring out west.

  • Badlands, Pt. 3

    As promised, here are a few from the drive through the Badlands earlier this year. Ok, I’ll admit that not every one of these pictures is postcard perfect but I still shared them because even in not-so-great shots, I think the scenery is still pretty amazing. Looking through these again makes me want to hop…

  • Badlands, Pt. 2

    As mentioned in a previous post, I drove through the Badlands earlier this year. It was the off season and the chance of snow was still pretty high. But the weather held and I got to see some of what makes the US beautiful. Along the way (before reaching the actual Badlands National Park), I…

  • Print All Over Me

    Ever wished you could wear my photos? Well now you can thanks to Print All Over Me. At the moment, there are a handful of product options (T-shirts, sweats, pillows,etc) but I’ve applied a few of my photos to the products that struck me as most useful. I’m pretty eager to see what the scarves,…

  • A Visit to the Museum

    It’s been snowy on and off here for the last few days. And since I’m a snow fan, I took a walk through the snow and ended up in an empty art museum. It was glorious having the place to myself. The museum has a lovely atrium that fogs up in the winter and feels…

  • Sometimes you just feel…

    This year has felt brutal in places and the last few days/weeks have been pretty intense (that’s not to say there haven’t been some highlights too but it’s been hard to get them to outshine the negative at times). Tomorrow is a new week though and in a month it will be a new year.…

  • Badlands, Pt. 1

    This time of year as the winds and seasons change, I always get the urge to travel (or at least make plans to travel). A few months ago, I drove back from a visit out west through the Badlands. And lately, I’ve been fantasizing about being back there with the big sky and meandering roads.…

  • DK textures

    Even though I took these pictures on an overcast, drizzly day, the color palettes captured here feel warm and sunny. A little summer-y even.

  • Service

    Found this little plaque on the side of an old train car. It’s not the most beautiful piece of type, but it caught my eye none the less.

  • Recent Clouds

    It’s been a while since I pulled together a collection of cloud pictures (Like this one and this one). Here are few more from the semi-recent past: How has everyone’s week been so far?

  • Vandring

    A few more from my last walkabout through Copenhagen. The building in the second picture was under construction when I snapped these, wonder how it looks now.

  • Up close

  • Engraved

    Would love to know what was hidden under the paper-y residue on the rest of this engraved brass plate. And a few textures from Copenhagen:

  • Contrasts

    Whenever I’m in Copenhagen, I try to pay a visit to the Design Museum. Enough time lapses between my visits that when I return, there’s always something new and different to see. During one of my tours of the museum, there was a dramatic lighting installation of aluminum. Oddly enough, it shared a space with…

  • House

    The last time I was in Copenhagen it was very gloomy and on a walk around town this sign caught my eye. Without realizing it at the time, it seems I also snapped a bit of a self-portrait while trying to capture this lovely type.

  • Beetle wings

    Can’t help but thinking of jewel beetles when I look through these images. Took these a few years ago in a railyard and am a little stunned they’ve just been collecting dust in a folder until now.

  • F

    While sorting photos recently, it struck me that I have unwittingly amassed a collection of photos of the letter ‘F.’ Strange, really. Here are a few: I think I like this second to last one the best.

  • Valve

    Kinda wish this metal plate was located on the side of my building— the rhythm of letterforms and the moody color gradient are so simple and pleasant.

  • Petroglyph

    Oftentimes when I’m shooting pictures of old trains or rusted machinery or digging through oily machine shops, I find unusual marks or symbols on some of the components. While some of the symbols are signs to precaution mechanics or obvious makers marks, some prove to be inscrutable seemingly more ancient petroglyph than anything else. Here’s…
