Sketchbook
As a working creative, the process is often messy, unpredictable and volatile. Over the years, I have found it important to allow yourself space to break away, experiment and make mistakes. It is within this space one can discover new ideas or techniques that may bring value to your craft. Or it can simply be reprieve to rest your mind and recharge.
I enjoy many genres of photography. It allows opportunities for different creative experiences and the use of different tools. The majority of my images never make it into any of my curated collections which is completely fine. For me, the process is the important end product; the image is a mere memento.
Welcome to my sketchbook - the rough sketches, outtakes and notes from the field.
Thank you for stopping by. - M

Yosemite Valley
Kat and I were blessed to be able to spend a few days in Yosemite National Park in April. Although I brought my camera gear and hoped to make a few images, photography wasn’t the focus of this trip. Spending time…
Lakeside Trees
I’ve spent a few mornings last month at the lake exploring around. On the last few visits, I brought the Bronica in case there were any compositions that caught my eye. I only have one lens which I thought…
A Quiet Day in the Desert
I had a free day last week and I decided to visit the desert and hang out with the mysterious Joshua Trees. It had been a while since I had been back to Joshua Tree National Park. I had a blast roaming around…
