Notebook: A Record of Work & Contemplations

Across the Channel to Santa Cruz

Across the Channel to Santa Cruz

In the distance, Santa Cruz rests like a quiet thought on the horizon, neither near nor far, simply present.

My notebook is a place for ongoing thought and shared process. It serves as a working record of what I am making, considering, and paying attention to as my practice continues to unfold. Here, I'll share current photographic work alongside objects in progress, shop updates, announcements, and the small discoveries that inform my larger body of work. This space is intentionally broad. Some entries may focus on finished pieces, others on works in development, tools, materials, or ideas that are still taking shape. At times it may hold practical notes from the workshop, at others reflections on seeing, making, or the quiet influences that guide my work.Rooted in the Roycroft ideals of Head, Heart, and Hand, Notebook values thought as much as action and process as much as outcome. It is not meant to be polished or conclusive, but honest and useful. A place to record what matters in the moment, to give context to the work, and to maintain a living connection between craft, daily practice, and the life surrounding it.
