Today is my 31st birthday. Or, as my 18 year old sister likes to put it, ‘the start of my 4th decade.’ Auspicious!
I picked this important day to make an important announcement. You might notice one word missing from this site in the past week. The word? Photography. It’s...

fill up the juke
Dolorean. My love for this band is undeniable, and I’m so happy that their latest album is meeting the world on TUESDAY. Yesterday we finally got ‘The Unfazed’ in our hands on vinyl, but I already know this album by heart. Their first tour dates with this record take them to Spain,...
throwing stones
The Drury family. No exaggeration, a bunch of geniuses. Two of the coolest, sweetest, most quotable kids - and I know exactly where they get it from. A+, all of ‘em.
hello eleven
We Jurados spent a reflective, creative end to the new year curled up at one of my favorite hotels in Portland. We’re gearing up for a big year in photos + music, and silence was the perfect way to begin it. Also, I am a sucker for a cozy robe.
One of the first...
illuvium; preview
In the studio with Jesse Higman.
The above is a preview of his process; how he uses gravity and water and mica based paint to create micro studies of motion, of waves, of creation. In them, Jesse examines beauty, unintended consequences, the cause and effect of events, and how that shapes the world around us....
you’re already home where you feel love
Thursday night at Conor Byrne we said goodbye to an era for Seattle’s new sweethearts.
I can remember the first time I heard them, clear as a bell. Damien fell hard right away too; said he’d love to take them on tour someday.
Here’s hoping there’s time for that tour, someday.
That last image is...
winter
These images were dreamed in Ohio, on I-70 W, staring out the window of a rented Ford.
Taken in Snoqualmie, WA on Black Friday 2010.
Inspired by Rook + High Violet.
church of poetry + hip hop
I don’t think I’m ready to say much about today’s magic. It is the sort of event that takes a while to unpack; the vulnerability of what the artists were sharing, the sense of community, of history, of ritual, of beliefs. I can say that I am honored, floored, that the team that...
landcam
Right before we left for tour, I fixed up my sweet but non functional Polaroid 250 at landcameras.com. I should’ve just bought from them in the first place! Nonetheless I had a new rechargeable battery installed, and will do some further cleaning and modifications when we have a bit more time. It...
hasta pronto
It is strange to edit these photos from the comfort of my own living room. I’d planned to work on them during our flight home, when I was still officially on tour; however, after delays and mishaps, I spent our 26 hour return home in a weird dramamine haze. I look at these...
