Reformed still photographer and Creative Evangelist for Blurb, Inc. Serial book and journal maker. New Mexico based. Run, ride, hike, fish, climb, surf.
Albania Journal 2023 has arrived. This is only the starting point. Each page will be “worked over” with writing, paint, pen, tape, glue, and maybe some gold flake if the price drops. #journal#print
Trade books are one of Blurb's best-kept secrets. Printed on the same pro-level printers as our photo books, they're just as color-accurate and bookstore quality. But the price point means you get more bang for your buck.

I like to bake my Instax in the sun. There is one major sequence change I would make here and it drives me crazy. The fact I ever thought this sequence would work makes me feel like I know nothing. #Albania#print
Three years of shooting in-camera multiple exposures while teaching in Albania. These are gimmicky but work when time is limited. And there is a certain skill in producing them. #Albania
Been making a few portraits this year while making my way through the wilds of Albania. This dude, Aron, was a cool cat who shed a little light on Albanian history for me. A quote machine. #Albania#AG23
