Sometimes when I’m out shooting—or even just running errands while on the phone with a friend—I’ll see something visually interesting and stop to capture it. 💛💙🔠 Later, that photo always reminds me of the friend I was talking to at the time. It’s a layered kind of memory called “associative memory,” where two unrelated experiences—a conversation and a visual moment—become permanently linked.

I’m drawn to color, shape, and type—and I love this city, my friends, and the practice of seeing. 🥰🌆🌴☀️🏖️😊

🧡🤍🧡🤍 Detail from K/R’s wall at Museum Garage

“Cadavre Exquis, as the game is known in French, involved a collection of images assembled by various artists with no regard or knowledge of what the other artists have drawn, producing one image whose components don’t necessarily match but flow together as one playful composition. Under Riley’s [from K/R @keenenriley direction, each participating architect [in the design of Museum Garage] was eventually assigned an area and depth to build out and given free reign to create fully individual designs. The result is a unique modern, architectural version of the Exquisite Corpse.”

Miami Beach Lifeguard stations.

In 1995, @williamlanearchitect designed five lifeguard towers to replace those destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. These towers quickly became iconic symbols, reflecting the cultural and urban revitalization of South Beach during the 1990s.

Two decades later, in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach, they revisited their original designs and developed six new prototypes to replace the 36 lifeguard towers spanning from South Pointe Park to 86th Street along Miami Beach.

“Much like the Moai statues of Easter Island, these towers serve as powerful expressions of identity and culture. Their abstract rooflines, contours, vibrant colors, and materials embody the optimistic futurism of Art Deco, the welcoming simplicity of Cracker Style, and the vivid energy of South Florida’s tropical environment. Beyond their visual appeal, the towers activate public spaces, transforming the beach itself into a dynamic environment. Unlike military watchtowers, these structures host lifeguards dedicated to safety and service, with the potential to save lives in critical moments.” 🩵💛💙💚

“Painting is an additive practice. You start out with a white canvas and make your marks. Photography is subtractive, you have the whole world and you edit and select a small rectangle or square of it.”
