Chiang Mai, 2019.

north charleston, south carolina. june 8th, 2020.

this trailer park has been here for generations. the flooding comes with every high tide. all around this park the land has been bought up and turned into three-story “luxury marsh-front homes”. the people living here don’t own the land their trailers sit on. they’re living on borrowed time. the city is coming for them. the breweries, the distillers, the boutiques, the wine bars. people from other tax brackets who used to write off this city are coming and gutting and tearing down the old to build their nests in the name of progress. but money follows, and money talks. it talks to city council members, and mayors, and developers all the same.

da nang, vietnam. 04202019.

captured while running a morning ten k. da nang was more sleepy than i had imagined. to be honest, nothing really stuck out to me about the town. loving food and architecture i have enjoyed its neighbor hoi an much more. i’ve accumulate a lot of exposures at this month long point of my latest travel, but haven’t taken the time away from doing so to post much about it. i’m sure some photos will start to trickle out to my feed, but for now it’s more important to me to continue living here in the moment.

chinese new year’s eve. 02022019.
chiang mai, thailand.

there’s something about chinatown late in the evening. wandering the fluorescent and neon-lit streets you look down the alleys, watch the shadows move. the rats scurry from trash bags into storm drains that rush with murky water.
an old thai man sat on the corner behind me watching a small television and smoking ci******es. his setup was similar to an outdoor living room. not so much outdoor as it was on the sidewalk. he seemed content. i stood on this particular corner for about thirty minutes and observed as women much younger than him would come walking in from the darkness to him, hand something over, and leave back into the night. there’s something about chinatown late in the evening.

welcome to bangkok. 10.13.2018

— this is one of the first photos I took after landing in bangkok. It was my first time to the city, and I was immediately consumed by the architecture, abandonment, and urban decay. when you say it out loud it sounds kind of dark, but in the moment it was actually quite exciting. these subject are some of my favorite to shoot. dark moody urban environments. The bleak nature of them somehow brings forward strong emotion.
when I said it was one of the first photos I shot there, I wasn’t kidding. we literally stepped off of the airport rail-link train and I shot this from the platform. welcome to bangkok. the lighting makes it near impossible to tell, but if you look through the tower on the right at the point that is lit, there is a cardboard cutout of the queen of thailand standing there amongst the rubble, waving.
