Why Film?
I shoot on film—not for nostalgia, but because it leaves a record. Something tangible. Proof that I stumbled across this piece of the world, and that I saw it like this. These aren’t curated moments or manufactured scenes; they’re what the world looked like when I found it. There’s a story in the silence—sometimes forgotten, sometimes never fully known—and that’s exactly the point.
Most of what I photograph is rural Oklahoma—fading towns, open fields, structures left to the elements. Landscapes rooted in rural decay, exploring memory, impermanence, and the human residue of lost dreams on the land. It’s not always beautiful, seldom the vernacular is, but it’s always honest.
There’s intention in each frame: not in chasing a “decisive moment”, but in showing things as they were or even what they could be.
The negatives are the evidence. The process is slow, but the result is permanent.
