Documenting the full spectrum of the human experience — with a camera, a strategy, and something to say.
About
Based on a 150-year-old farm on the coast of Tomales Bay, I use photography to document the full spectrum of the human experience, making us wonder about our society in an ever-expanding, interconnected world.
I also founded JAMII YA NYUKI, a social impact initiative that empowers Beekeepers in Tanzania — because storytelling only matters if it moves people to act.

Featured Essay
What does it mean to photograph someone's life when your own is fundamentally different? After two decades working across Tanzania, Senegal, Mexico, and beyond — I've come to believe the most ethical photographers aren't neutral observers. They're committed participants.
On Place & Practice
Slowness as a creative practice. What Tomales Bay, a flock of chickens, and the Pacific fog teach a photographer who has spent decades chasing the world.
On Impact Storytelling
The journey from documentary photographer to social entrepreneur — building JAMII YA NYUKI, and what that taught me about the relationship between image and action.
On Teaching
Notes from a decade of workshop facilitation — from Orion to Omega Institute. The one thing I tell every photographer at the start of every class.
On Brand Storytelling
Commissioned work for brands from cannabis to fine dining. A frank look at how to maintain creative integrity when the client has opinions — and a budget.
