I found a photo lab receipt from 2003 in an old coat. I think I’ve owned that coat since literally 1995.
In related news, my first ever paid job was at a Ritz Camera at the Pentagon City mall.

I generally think photos of homeless people are pretty exploitive unless the work really serves a purpose (Suitcase Joe's work in LA's Skid Row comes to mind), but I shot these in college when I was living in Richmond, VA and I took them for a local homeless shelter. I don't actually remember what exactly they were because it was over twenty years ago, but I don't look back on them with any regret.

And finally we come to 2025. I do have some crazy photos from 2025 but I wanted to end on something hopeful, a rainbow shining on to my fiance as she pumps gas (normally I am in charge of gas, but I had to take photos of a rainbow). This is a photo I would have had to shoot on my phone if I didn't have a camera on me at all times.
It's been a weird year for me. I got a tumor, got engaged and bought a house. I spent several months taking care of my fiance as she recovered from a botched knee surgery and barely did any traveling and honestly didn't work nearly enough. Hopefully 2026 will be different. Less pain, less responsibilities, more adventures and more work. I am already down 5lbs since the first, so let's see how long I can keep up my new healthy new years resolution life. You never know, because I am still living up to my 2008 resolution to carry a camera with me everywhere.
The end... for now.

In 2008 I made a new years resolution to never leave the house without a point and shoot 35mm camera. Nearly 20 years later I am still doing it. Here's a thread of one interesting point and shoot 35mm photo from 2008 to 2025.
Lady Gaga's 22nd birthday party in Miami in March 2008, about two months before Just Dance came out and she became one of the biggest musicians on the planet.
