By this point, I was exhausted. I just flew from Costa Rica, to Houston, to Denver, to Frankfurt and now Bangkok. All I wanted to do was sleep but I was so tired I became an insomniac and couldn't.

Series: Shapes & Texture
This collection was gathered through many different photo opportunities throughout the years. I always felt these individual photographs did not quite match the original series or spoke to their location. Instead, as a collective, they each represent sort of a puzzle - whether it be from their shape, texture, or composition. After gathering numerous examples and keeping in their own separate folder, it became more apparent that they matched. The simplicity of form, similarity in structure, and two-dimensional visual led me to create this focused series.
The Moore May 20 tornado made world news. It was live streaming on Aljazeera, BBC, ABC (Australian Broadcast Company) and CNN International.

- Day Two -
We left the highest point, Clingman's Dome, and continued downwards onto the winding, curving roads. Back onto 441, we followed Oconaluftee River southward. We pulled over along the way to admire (and photograph!) creeks, meadows full of wild flowers, and wildlife. We spotted numerous elks roaming.
We ended up getting "lost" down an odd little road full of small houses, domestic animals, and bizarre decorations; we easily turned back on track. Continuing south towards Cherokee NC, we made our next stop Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
There was a museum, a homestead wonderfully preserved, to show how families lived and survived in the mountains 100 years ago. My Mom was delighted and wonderstruck imaging life on the homestead; I tried my hardest to capture that moment for her!
Ellicott City, MD
Mini Series: Downtown
This series was photographed in March 2018. Ben, an old friend of mine, was in Maryland for work. He was helping set up and manage a new shop in Columbia. He had never been to Maryland before and asked to meet up. I had never personally been to Ellicott City before, but my parents were married there. They told me it’s a rustic town that I would love photographing, so I asked if Ben would check it out with me. The area we explored sits in the woods with a creek/river running right through main street. We roamed downtown - the bridges, alleyways, abandoned buildings, parks, and the old train station. It was a quiet and mysterious place, like a setting Ben or I used to write about when we exchanged our fictional writing to each other. The town floods frequently and many places were boarded up, but we did find some really neat antique shops and enjoyed exploring this dreary, ominous city.
