Collage Chronicles #2

“Get out and see the world kid!”

The second installment of Collage Chronicles brings the little Isetta to a forgotten part of town, but maybe the nooks and crannies are where we learn the most. For me, all three photos in this series really embody exploration. Looking forward to getting out there and seeing the world again one day!

Collage Chronicles #1

“America”

Effective immediately, the Collage Chronicles is an exploration of digital collage using analog photos. I’m excited about the idea of breathing new life into photos from my archive that otherwise would have gone unseen. The first installment is titled “America” because big business, big burgers and things that blow up. What else do you need?

Going West: Hoodslam

Going West will be a series of indeterminate length showcasing images from Lauren and I’s trip to San Francisco in October 2019 to visit some good buds, eat some good food and listen to some good tunes. Mission accomplished, more to come.

Part IV of Going West covers Hoodslam, a series of weekly amateur wrestling matches in Oakland. I didn’t know what to expect going into the event but it absolutely did not disappoint. The entire crowd was stoked to be there, totally engaged, riding the highs and lows with the wrestlers and chanting along with the MC every step of the way. If you’re in the Oakland area, I highly recommend checking out a Hoodslam event!

Going West: Strictly Friends

Going West will be a series of indeterminate length showcasing images from Lauren and I’s trip to San Francisco in October 2019 to visit some good buds, eat some good food and listen to some good tunes. Mission accomplished, more to come.

Part III of Going West at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. A day wandering through Golden Gate Park surrounded by friends with the perfect tunes playing the background (Kurt Vile and Mandolin Orange amongst others!). What an amazing sun soaked day.

Labor Day at the Cabin

Being forced to enjoy the outdoors in a more solitary way, my mind wanders back to a much needed weekend in the woods over Labor Day weekend surrounded by great friends old and new. Nestled in a comfy cabin with a perfect screened in porch and a little lake of its own, this place was unreal. What a blast.

Ricketts Glen State Park

We hiked the Falls Trail, a 7.2 mile hike with twenty-one waterfalls of all shapes and sizes along the way. It was a little crowded along the trail the day that we were there but it wasn’t hard to find secluded nooks and crannies to take a breather and enjoy each other’s company.

Down by the Lake

The Lake was the real MVP here! My favorite parts of the weekend were all spent down by the lake, grilling, wiffing, laughing, imbibing, etc.

The Sullivan County Fair

We stopped at the Sullivan County Fair to take in the sights and smells of the demolition derby and the county’s best farm animals. Favorites included the front-wheel-drive class derby and the pigmy goat (not shown)!

Until Next Time
