A black and white photograph of a horizon filled with towering puffy white thunderstorm clouds over the Florida west coast Intracoastal Waterway.

📷 #PortfolioDay | This 35-picture postcard from 2000 was DIY PR, trying to get someone's attention who might give me a job, buy prints—something; I was skint.

An agent saw them. He was retiring and not taking on new photographers, but sent them around, and I got work within months.

The images were made in SF and Marin between 1990 and 2000. All models are amateurs.

The images are shown full frame; no cropping.

There’s ways people can do training that is interesting, and then there’s monotone people. I hate when I can’t focus on the training. #monotone #bored #training #whyy #thursday

📷 Matt at home, 1991.

Matt and me made our first pictures together in his garage apartment on Dolores/17th. No windows; the only natural light (and air) came in through vents at the bottom of the garage door.

📷 The beach at Rancho Sausalito, 1998.

This not-easy-to-reach beach at #Tennessee Valley #NationalPark in #Marin was a regular Sunday afternoon destination in the 90s. Most times with a model, but not always.

When someone asks "where and when were you happiest?" this is my answer. I go here in my mind, eyes closed, often. I can smell the air and hear the waves crashing.

📷 Welsh guy odd-jobbing across America. We met playing pool at the 500 Club and shot the next afternoon.

He was wearing the same clothes including the newsboy cap I loved. It was his tm and milkshake, I learned by watching him in the pool room for a couple months.
