A Photographic Survey
An evening when the sky over the alley turned the color of a bruise and a peach at once — seven frames made between the last sun and the first porch lamp.
The third survey began by accident — a glance upward at a familiar block that, for one minute of impossible light, refused to be familiar. What follows is a record of staying still long enough to notice.
Seven frames made in the failing light of a single summer evening, when the alley turned every color at once.

Nine frames of one morning on foot — a neighborhood that raises children, read in monochrome.

The survey that started it all — color frames of a quarter that wears its history in brick and awning.
View the survey →Made indoors and out across forty minutes, the third survey is about what ordinary surfaces do when the sun is low enough to be honest — louvers, glass, a string of patio bulbs standing in for the day that left.
Essay
Anamorphosis is the trick of an image that only resolves from one angle. The studio takes its name from it — because a neighborhood, too, only resolves when you stop and stand in the one spot most people walk past.
The Dispatch
Each survey ships with a short letter — what I was looking at, what I got wrong, and the one frame that almost didn't make it. No more than once a month. Free.
