Since February 28, 2024, in collaboration with a fellow photographer John Burns @burnsmeister, we committed to taking one photograph every single day. It’s a simple daily practice, but a powerful one—a way to stay present, to sharpen the eye, believing in the value of persistence in flexing artistic muscles.

Not every photo is a masterpiece, that’s not the point. Some days I see more clearly, others I struggle to find something that speaks to me. I’ve never once regretted picking up the camera and pressing the shutter though. Over time, this ritual has grown into a visual diary—an enduring way to frame time, memory and self, one image at a time.

Here is a selection from my Everydays—moments that caught my eye. In an attempt to keep myself accountable, I also post 'Everydays' to @Threads at:

John and I recently decided to see if we could grow Everydays and set up the @EverydaysCollective. You can find us on Instagram and join us daily on @Threads.
