I’m a creative. My heartbeat is to lead creatives better.
Photography is part of how I work and how I spend my time outdoors. I also lead creative people, travel with a lot of equipment, and care about the systems that let us put our attention on the actual job.
I built this corner of the internet to share the cameras, bags, little fixes, and genuinely fun things that make those days better. I shoot landscapes, portraits, and events, work with drones, and sometimes take on video projects too.
Why the little things matter
Once I know exactly where everything belongs in my bags, I can stop looking for my stuff and start paying attention to what matters: the person in front of the camera, the moment I do not want to miss, or the team trying to do good work.
That is why there is as much room here for cables, tissues, and a good pouch as there is for a dream landscape camera. There is also room for a camera-shaped pin or an instant camera that is simply fun to use.
How I talk about recommendations
When I own something, have borrowed it, use it through work, or have only put it on my wishlist, I say so. A shopping example is not the same as the exact item in my bag, and a product I am excited to try is not a product I have tested.
I would rather explain what makes something a good fit than recommend everything. The gift guides are for choosing something thoughtful; the gear articles are for understanding how the pieces work together.
If the people side of creative work interests you too, start with the books I recommend for leading people and doing meaningful work.
