My Photography

produce. travel. filter. alter. update. create.
I've been traveling so long people ask me "How long are you around?" rather than anything immediate. I understand. I'm not traveling anymore. I live in Brooklyn, I make sound and music, I take pictures, I write, I "produce" people's lives and maybe their art to avoid my own life, I love my friends, but I ride solo.

My Interests

spacing out. making noise. francophilia. nihongophilia. typing in bed. taking weird nature photos. traveling.

I'd like to meet:
