portland, or || may 2013
May was exciting – I finished my freshman year of college & moved home for the summer, and a week later, I flew out to Portland, Oregon for a week. Two of my best friends from school, Andrew and Gillian, live in Portland, and Gillian’s family was generous enough to house and feed me for [...]
nick andreadis || april 2013
Back in April, I had the chance to shoot a few portraits of my friend Nick Andreadis, who was such a wonderful subject. We worked really well together, which I appreciated – it’s nice when someone knows instinctively what you’re looking for in an image. shot on my Yashica Mat EM + expired Kodak Tri-X [...]
portraits || early 2013
This semester, I focused in my darkroom class mainly on shooting portraits (both others and myself). I feel drawn to portraiture and would like to continue shooting them, particularly on medium format. All hand-developed and printed.

And then it was full speed into Mom’s surgeries, which dominated the year. But January most of all was dictated by it, by [...]
return trips || 2012
My final project for my photography class this semester, return trips. a series focusing on my trips back to Jersey, through the eyes of half a tourist.

1/365
If you’ve followed my work for long enough (over two years, now) you probably know that I’ve completed a 365 project – a self portrait a day for a year. If not, hello! And welcome. Last week, on my 19th birthday, I began my second 365. I’m nervous and I’m excited and I’m happy to [...]
