Pedestrians walking down 7th Street at dusk past illuminated storefronts and glowing streetlights.

Ferry deck with a red lifebuoy labeled CATALINA JET mounted on a wall beside the Commodore Lounge door.

Red and white vintage Volkswagen camper van parked on the street in front of a beige apartment building.

Avalon harbor on Catalina Island with boats moored in sparkling blue water before hillside houses.

View through a car windshield at an overhead green highway sign pointing toward Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Vintage blue car fender at a city intersection with glowing neon signs and traffic lights at night.

You have an eye for capturing beauty in unexpected places. Do you plan any of these in advance or do you prefer to take things as you go?

I have a full-time day job that takes up quite a bit of my time, so while I’m not one of those photographers that carries my camera everywhere with me, almost all of my photography is “accidental”and without too much forethought or planning. One of my favorite things in the world to do is put on my headphones and walk around a new neighborhood with my camera, but beyond a general idea of where I want to walk, I don’t really have a sense of what I’m going to see or the kind of pictures I want to take.
