Stealing From My Peers
I’ve made the conscious decision to steal from my friends and creative peers. I’ve done the research and, perhaps to the dismay of my fellow photographers, there are no criminal repercussions for my planned actions, so you’re just going to have to deal with it. I’m sorry for not being sorry.

Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal
I don’t think I do anything special. Snap a photo here, over-process it into oblivion there, and call it “art”. How original is that? Well, by describing my work in such a vague and generalized tone, sure. I’m weak sauce. However, looking at a broader spectrum of iPhoneography out there – nay, photography, in general [...]

I know exactly how it all began, when I had my eureka moment. I was about seven or eight years old, living in the Washington, DC area. My mom has an obsession with the National Gallery, so she would drag my brother and I there frequently, which was my favorite place next to the Air [...]
Style Points
I woke up this morning and during my usual bout of pre-caffeinated narcissism, where I scan my work to see what I’ve created lately, I came to yet another epiphany. Sort of.
