I started photographing planes from behind the airport fence — long lens, patient afternoons, and a notebook full of tail numbers. It turned out the patience was the part I liked.
From there it grew. I started chasing air shows for the Blue Angels and the F-35 demo team. I photographed downtown Minneapolis on cold mornings when the light cut sideways across the towers. On a family trip to Corpus Christi, I spent a day with the USS Lexington — one of the last World War II carriers — and came home with a new subject I want to keep working on.
Most of what I shoot lives in a few categories: aviation, cityscapes, historic landmarks, coastal scenes, and the occasional abandoned place. They share something. Whether it's a fighter jet, a flour-mill sign, or a brick wall the woods are taking back — it's about scale, geometry, and the quiet feeling of being small next to a big thing.
I'm self-taught, still learning, and always open to feedback or trades with other young photographers. If you'd like a print, want to swap notes, or have an aircraft, building, or historic site you think I should photograph — say hi.
