SIDEBURNERS
For more than thirty years, I have carried a camera through forgotten downtowns, roadside diners, music clubs, architecture, empty theaters, quiet beaches, motel rooms, coffee shops, back alleys, and thousands of ordinary moments that somehow never felt ordinary.
This book isn’t about one subject.
It’s about a lifetime of looking.
SIDEBURNERS is a retrospective of photographs and prose created between 1994 and 2025. Within these pages are street photographs, portraits, architecture, landscapes, documentary work, personal projects, and quiet observations gathered over three decades of wandering with a camera in my hand.
Some images celebrate beauty.
Others preserve places that no longer exist.
Many simply ask us to slow down long enough to notice the poetry hidden inside everyday life.
Shot on 35mm, medium format, 4×5 film, and digital cameras, these photographs are accompanied by original writing that offers a glimpse into the thoughts, memories, and emotions behind the work.
This isn’t simply a collection of my favorite photographs.
It’s a visual journal.
A record of who I was, what I loved, what I feared losing, and the people and places that quietly shaped my life.
If you’ve ever been drawn to the glow of an old neon sign, the silence of an abandoned building, the face of a stranger, the rhythm of a city street, or the feeling that a photograph can somehow remember something we cannot… then I hope you’ll find a little of yourself inside these pages.
Welcome to SIDEBURNERS.
