About
I'm a photographer based in El Paso, Texas, with a passion for capturing the world through the unique character of vintage lenses. Shooting with my Fuji X-T4, I embrace the imperfections, flares, and distinct aesthetics that classic glass brings to modern digital photography. Whether it's the cinematic glow of my adapted Somco 16mm f/1.6 projector lens or the dreamy bokeh of my 7Artisans 50mm f/0.95, every frame tells a story that blends nostalgia with a contemporary edge.
Beyond my home in the desert, I travel from time to time, seeking new landscapes, cultures, and moments to document. From the streets of distant cities to the open road, I aim to create images that feel timeless—crafted with a deep appreciation for the past while capturing the present in a way that feels personal and immersive.
