Hey guys I’ve started a new blog so if anyone is interested go check it out!
Born in the digital generation, but loving film. I’ve all but stopped taking digital photos; haven’t picked up my DSLR in nearly a year. But that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped taking photos, come check out my new found love of film on my flickr account!

A city isn’t really a city without a little grit. That edge, that grittiness I am referring to comes from a city’s built form - it’s industrial land; the train tracks; the port cranes; its older, unkempt graffitied buildings. A city’s grit also comes from it’s people’s struggles - the new immigrant taking a night shift cleaning office buildings to make it in a new world, or the artist eking out a living making art in an abandoned warehouse.
