I'm currently working on two projects, both primarily in 35mm panoramas. The first series, Maritime, Manufacturing, and Logistics focuses on logistics infrastructure and industrial land use along the urban west coast, especially Seattle, Washington and Oakland, California. The second is a collection of North American transit photography which I began in April 2025, currently featuring work from New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle. My desire is to depict the feeling of awe I experience at scale, and my appreciation for the organized chaos that underlies our world. I hope to continue to expand these works throughout 2026.
