The Camera I Carry is my personal reflection on National Camera Day. Moving through my evolution from brushes to film to iPhone, and drawing on a recent wet plate collodion demonstration at the Monterey Museum of Art, I consider what connects Niépce's eight-hour exposure in 1826 to the woman on the pier that morning with her phone raised to the fog. The answer, I suggest, is not technology. It is intention.
Stars, Silence, and Summer Light

A reflective Memorial Day essay inspired by a cinematic photograph of a solitary figure in patriotic attire seated in a vintage automobile. Blending humor, nostalgia, and quiet reverence, the piece explores memory, sacrifice, chosen identity, and the idea of America as an unfinished journey rather than a fixed destination.
