A belief
I believe commitment to beauty in our lives will save us from self-destruction:
as the Ancient Greek word for beauty was "kalon" — related to call — beauty compels us to heed unspoken words to dive deeper, explore, stay a while in something profound and unexplainable, and eventually work to preserve it. I endeavour to flesh out this concept forever, through words and visual media.

The work
⭑ Thus, my portfolio is diverse, explorative, and whimsical as represents my own life's journey ⭑
I have often zoomed out and taken a birds' eye view of the world, and am increasingly trying to pivot my creative work to encompass...everything. All of it. The really Big Picture stuff.
So, my fellow big thinkers / dreamers / journeyers:
Come explore. Get beautifully lost and messy with me.

Chapters of a book I'm writing
Read some for free, some upon subscription, as I write them in real time. (Hint: it's a book about a book; a boy and an alchemist.) A taster paragraph:
"Since first intentionally sitting down with all of this, I’ve peeled away at layers thinking each one would lead into the core, the heart, of why this creation started coming into being — and why it might prove relevant to anyone else — only to touch on something yet more profound than the thing before it, and dig up yet more bountiful buried treasures of wisdom and truth that struck my worldly armour with deafening clangs.
These discoveries, and the space between them, are slowly piecing together into something of a Coelho-esque journey in itself, each stage showing me a great deal about what it means to be alive and human today against a backdrop of some really quite troubling stuff going on in our world."
Photographs
While visual media is no longer my primary bread and butter, I am proud of the portfolio I have created over ~10 years of self-teaching and exploring the world through my camera lens, and wish to share it here, should my images bring you joy. (I'm still open to collaborating on particularly special ideas/projects, so let me know if you have one in mind I might be a good fit for!) I have photographed myriad music and cultural festivals, weddings, spiritual retreats, alternative health practitioners, and more; here's a sample of what I can do and what I have created [link TBA].
