I'm so excited to return to Ruby Mountain on Saturday, May 30 for another one-day show of new painting work. Called ‘Summer Diary 2’, the work serves as a continuation of last summer’s ‘Summer Diary’. Mediations on technology, loneliness, and being alive in 2026 are abundant, with humor and Philadelphia references throughout. I’ll be hanging out all day, I hope to see you there!

I am so excited to share that I’ll be jurying the 20/20 Photo Festival’s call for entries show, ‘Transforming Landscapes’, happening at Cherry Street Pier this September. The call invites photographers from Philadelphia and beyond to submit analog work considering the evolution of the American landscape of the last 250 years. This includes not only physical terrains, but also the technological, societal, political, scientific, and artistic environments that shape contemporary life.
Photographers are invited to submit work created through analog photographic methods, including a wide range of film types—color negative, black-and-white, slide, and instant—as well as formats such as 35mm, 120, 4x5 large format, 110, and 126.
Selected works will also be exhibited as part of the 20/20 Photo Festival for the month of September at Cherry Street Pier, and featured at the festival’s photo book fair on September 12, 2026.
The call is open now through June 1, much more info here.
I’m very excited to be a part of this group show at Flow Space Gallery in New York, opening May 7 through June 4. The three pieces I have in ‘On Motherhood’, features work from my Going, Going and care:giver series.
I'm excited to share a one day exhibition of my latest painting work, 'Summer Diary' on Saturday May 31at Ruby Mountain Goods (6782 Germantown Ave, Mount Airy).
'Summer Diary' features 92 new paintings, each representing a calendar page of the three core summer months. These six-inch square works will be displayed as a full-room installation, creating a visual scrapbook of the season. Featuring text and simple, bold images - people, cars, phones, flowers, houses - the work seeks to illustrate an inner monologue, a ledger of summer, meditations on technology, identity and loneliness, as well as a love letter to Philadelphia.
Making this work, and continuing to expand my creative practice from its core of photography, continues to be a joyful, gratifying experience. I'm grateful to Molly at Ruby Mountain for welcoming 'Summer Diary', and encourage you to patronize her thoughtfully curated shop while you check out the show.
See you May 31!
My good friend Paolo Jay Agbay and I are hosting a crit event on Saturday, May 12! Called ‘Finding Yourself in the Work’, it will be a great opportunity for photographers to come together, offline, to talk about their work and their goals. More info and registration here.
I’m excited to share that I’m going to be participating in this year’s iteration of aipad’s The Photography Show. Happening April 23-27, 2025 at the historic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, I’ll be vending in the photobook section with a group of 10+ photographers from Philadelphia under the Gravy Studio umbrella.
Founded in 2011 in a converted motorcycle garage in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood, Gravy Studio has evolved from a brick-and-mortar gallery into a hybrid collective that continues to support photography through pop-up exhibitions, collaborative projects, its active online platform, and the annual 20/20 Photo Festival in Philadelphia. As one of Philadelphia’s only photography-specific collectives, Gravy champions a model of equal dialogue between artist and curator while amplifying socially and politically engaged photography. The artists representing Gravy at The Photo Show will feature work spaning documentary, experimental, conceptual, and historical photography.
I’ll have copies of Going, Going, my 2023 self published book, East Falls, my very first zine, as well as two prints for sale.
The costs to join a fair like this are significant. We have put together a fundraiser of donated books, zines and prints from our participating photographers, in order to help us cover as much of our costs as possible. If you're interested in checking it out and maybe supporting our efforts - all of the information can be found here: https://www.gravy-studio.com
Excited to share two new photo zines, ‘False Impression’ and ‘I’m Getting My Ear Pierced This Summer’.
‘False Impression’ takes a look back at Eastern Pennsylvania, 19 years ago. Shot on black and white film, it’s a short reflection on an unknowable time. It’s 24 pages, 5.5x8.5 and costs $12.
‘I’m Getting My Ear Pierced This Summer’ is a little 6x6 gem, consisting of photos from 2007-2024. The title came from a painting I did last year, and it’s been rolling around in my head ever since. I’m going to the mall this summer. And I’m getting my ear pierced. It’s 16 pages and costs $9.
Both of these are available now on my website, found at the link in my bio.
Additionally, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be vending at the Jersey Art Book Fair, next Saturday, February 22. I’ll have both of these new titles available, as well as almost everything else, and a few other surprises. If you’re up in that neck of the woods, I hope to see you there.
I’m excited to return to The Halide Project on Saturday, March 29 to facilitate another edition of my Photo Zine Workshop. This workshop allows experienced photographers to come together and get a rundown on the ins and outs of zine publishing, as well as pin up their own work on the walls for feedback and critique.
The workshop concludes with participants ready to move forward with self publishing their photo zines. Indie Photo is partnering with us, and will provide work prints for participants to have on hand at the workshop. Indie Photo is also excited to sell copies of finished zines from the workshop.
