Goodmorning all!
This year is starting off strong for me in the photo world and i’m so damn thankful for that! Here is some recent news I wanted to share with you all:
First off, Booooooom featured Waiting for the Rain on their website! I can’t quite put into words how amazing it feels to put out a body of work that continues to garner as much attention as this project has. It feels like I’m finally making work that I am fully proud of & at the same time, is well received. Booooooom is one of my all-time favorite resources for photo/visual art inspiration & I am super stoked to be featured by them. This feels like the proper send-off of a feature for this project as I now move onto newer bodies/styles of work. On that note, I am down to my last two framed print/book combos but I still have plenty of book copies left over! Visit my site for more info.
Second, Coffee People accepted some of my most recent, unpublished work as part of their forthcoming issue (#20 - Earth). Coffee People is “a zine about coffee, creativity, and community. It was written for coffee people, by coffee people. The main purpose of this zine is to display the artwork and creative endeavors of coffee professionals. It was begun to give a platform to baristas, roasters, and other coffee professionals to display their talents, passions, opinions, hobbies, and points of view. Many coffee people are creative in realms outside the café, so let’s share what we do with each other! Let’s support and encourage one another. Coffee People is meant to entertain and inform.” As soon as I officially entered the coffee industry last fall, I instantly noticed how talented my coworkers were in so many different art forms. It’s super rad to now be a part of an art scene like Coffee People whose main focus is for coffee professionals like myself. I’ve seen past issues in local coffee shops here in Sacramento and always thought: “maybe one day, I can be a part of this in some way or another..” and now I am; woohoo! Everything eventually connects, word to Tyler of Timeless Thrills.
Old Work, New Work
Huge congrats my dude! Absolutely well earned and deserved. So happy to see you getting recognition and being lifted up. Onwards and upwards my friend 🤍
