I'm a design strategist by day (and night) and a photographer by night (and day). Of course, I'm a lot of other things in between too, and, really, it's all of those things that drive my photography. I travel a lot for work, life, and fun, so I can't help but try to capture and share some of the amazingness that I encounter. Living in Chicago doesn't hurt either - iconic architecture, dynamic stre

et scenes, and all four seasons provide ample opportunity for exploring with my cameras. My preferred photographic genres skew toward architecture, city, and street, but I've found myself dabbling in minimalism, macro, and macabre. I suppose labels don't matter that much as long you like it (in real life). I'm always experimenting a little, so follow along and let me know what you think! - Joel

This may sound obvious since it’s a reflection on a ten-year swath of life, but the moments and events of the past decade reshaped the contours of my life for decades to come. One major relationship ended…opening the door to a new one. We had our first child, which has opened my eyes and my heart to what love and happiness can really be while fundamentally shifting how I apply my values to how I spend my time. I structurally altered my professional path, not once but twice, setting myself on a course toward a more rewarding and freeing entrepreneurial one (JW Collaborative ). And, I’ve rediscovered the magic and fulfillment of creating art through photography and connecting with a community that is not only talented but generous and kind. While I’ve had to let go of how much time I spend on photography and art, and therefore on this account, over the past year-plus, I still look forward to creating and sharing more in the decade to come.

Happy New Year and New Decade to you all!

Getting out

An image from my recent submission to the black and white photography contest. I’ll put my other submissions in my story and highlights. Are you into obscured oddities like this as much as I am?

Five months ago, I went to Germany and The Netherlands. Then life changed and took over, and I haven’t been able to find the time, energy, or motivation to release them into the wild. Consider this the beginning.
