An informal introduction.

Coffee, Camera, and Sneakers.

I’m a photographer based in Montreal, Canada. Please find my work in these lists: Documentary, Poetry, Fiction. Find EROSION, my latest photo series, here.

Weird thoughts that make no sense put me at ease. They seem colorful to me. They feel a bit like joy and a bit like when you hit bacon in a hot sandwich made on thick well-loved bread.

I love to constantly ponder about what if. Sometimes it can feel like an uncomfortable joke, like a guy I know that invented the time machine. It was amazing but he could only travel between a minute to a minute and a half back in time. Traveling to the future was irreversible so he never tried it after he fucked up his 30s. He should be 32 now but in an instant went over to 47. Lesson learned… you'd think right? But no, every day he travels 2 or 3 times back in time a couple of minutes in hopes to make up for some of the lost time. He figures by the time he hits 60 he might be 60. Whatever that means. I think he sucks at math. But hey, he invented the time machine.

What was I saying?

Ah, yes, I write and photograph. I am a documentarian at heart although I have dedicated my life to corporate and advertising for the past 20 years. I just began publishing on Medium a few days ago, if you like what you read subscribe.

Find out if I’ll keep going at it or if that guy’s time machine will suck away more of his life. I have big plans, I’ll soon be posting one of those links so anyone can buy me coffee. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but here are three things that are important to me:

Coffee, my camera, and sneakers.

Thanks for reading!
