Field Notes

Studies in place and process

Field Notes is an ongoing series of personal projects built around place and process. Each entry documents a specific environment, the experience of being there, and the things I came to understand that I did not expect. These are not assignments. Some are close to home. Some are not. They are the projects I create because I want to, the subjects I choose because they interest me, and images I make when no one is asking for anything in particular.

Overnight on the Platte River

Wildlife | Winter | Patience

Overnight in a blind on the Platte River in sub-zero temperatures. The moment I came for never arrived. The one I didn't expect came the evening before.

Wildlife | South Africa | Observation

A week in the South African bush, where lions, elephants, and wild dogs have no interest in being photographed. Learning to see.

Returning to the family farm years later, this time behind a camera.

These projects are personal, but the same curiosity and documentary approach shape how I work with every client.
