“Everything is on fire,
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living,
and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.”
- Nikita Gill

There is beauty everywhere.

Storage facilities, in general, often have beautiful graphic shapes and colors, and yesterday I drove by this one in Miami. The light was so striking that I had to pull over and capture it. I always find it ironic that I take minimal photos of buildings that store people’s excess belongings.

In 2021, I collaborated with the talented Bangkok designer @wuthipol.designs to create a zine called Miami Storage.

Stay tuned—something new is coming soon! 💛🩵💙❤️💚

Even in the rain, there’s still color to capture. The raindrops on my windshield distort and bend the stripes of the #MarkusLinnenbrink mural at the #duahotelmiami forming new lines of color within each drop.

Stare at this corner and see if it flips for you—at first, it looks recessed, but if you keep looking, it might suddenly jump out. It’s called “reversible perspective”, a type of “perceptual ambiguity” where your brain switches between different ways of seeing the same scene. Let me know when it jumps! 💙❤️❤️❤️🤍🖤❤️❤️

Parlay House photo walking tour!
Saturday October 19th 10-12pm in Miami Beach.
Space is limited. See link in story to sign up!

“Do you enjoy mindful walks or taking photos? Are you curious about local architecture? There’s beauty all around us in Miami, especially in the historic art deco district… let’s absorb it and appreciate it together!

At this exciting upcoming event, photographer and graphic designer Laura Paresky Gould (IG @miamicolortheory) will lead us on an interactive photo walk inspired by her minimalist, color-focused iPhone images from her photo essay book and popular Instagram, “Miami Color Theory.” Laura will teach us about the history of Miami’s stunning deco architecture, how to capture a moment in time with a photograph, and the art of “seeing differently.” She will also share specific tips on shooting picture perfect images using an iPhone.”
