Honored to have had the great @jeffreylederart come sit for a portrait in the home studio last week... so incredibly grateful for his friendship, and accompanying wisdom and advice over the years. 🖤 _ #makeportraits #filmphotographic #fotofilmic #ilford #delta400 #mamiya #rb67 #mediumformat #studioportrait #blackandwhite #karsh (at Greenville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3mCe8O5vd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Something I've been thinking about this past year: maybe just because something will inevitably be coming to an end, it doesn't mean you should stop trying to better it. _ #poemill #poemillmag #skateboading #yeahthatgreenville #skateboardingisfun #community #snapshots #portra (at Poe Mill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1SudMjW07/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bikes are fun! #sendit #ferda (at Ride Kanuga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcjgZMDDdu/?igshid=1119tiuswlcsy

I texted like 5 friends the same thing the other day: I want to find a way to keep a nice low and consistent hum of energy when it comes to making and sharing work. It's hard when my natural tendency is to overthink everything... just spinning wheels. - I accompanied the Dodds brothers a couple weeks ago as they built up Cam's new @knollybikes Warden. Funny enough, the first time I ever used this camera/film combo was down in Jax Beach visiting @orange_tree_surfboards and documenting his whole board-shaping process. I love seeing others in their zone. - https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUmQxpDueU/?igshid=1vd5sqt8ukjez

mounted, framed, finished... love how this piece turned out: archival print of storm debris from a big tornado outbreak over Easter last year in South Carolina... wrapped in a gold and black suede mat, with a black frame (24x20) _ #makeprints #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKeflSjaGz/?igshid=1ij0xpf3ncip9

It saddens me that this familiar Greenville landscape will likely be changing so drastically, with such little regard for what has sprung up organically over the past 15 years.   I get that change is inevitable and I’m grateful to be living in such a thriving little city, but surely Greenville can do better than steamrolling the only public skatepark to make way for yet another apartment complex... not to mention what a 482-unit-new-construction would mean for the Poe Mill neighborhood as a whole. no. 1: Poe Mill Neighborhood from the Hwy 183 bridge. no. 2: Spencer and David enjoying a break between sessions. no. 3: “Work-Force housing” no. 4: Proposed development #greenville #yeahthatgreenville #greenvillecounty #greenvillecountyredevelopmentauthority #parksandrec #greenvilleparks #greenvilleparksandrec #poemill #poemillneighborhood #twintowers #skateboarding #skateboardingisfun #skateboardingisnotacrime #diyskatepark (at Poe Mill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZo94Ej2R2/?igshid=mq0w91jsb5yn

So thankful I was called up to DP this shoot with Safe Harbor last week... while the footage is off to the editor, I've been working on color grading some footage... so pleased with how everything's turned out so far :) (at Greenville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_Wb9UDuPC/?igshid=xq1059ob6bl
