After working in a slow, technical, and calculated manner while shooting large format photographs, I wanted to do something completely different. I purchased ten disposable cameras in the hopes that I could loosen up and shoot in an entirely different process. I brought a camera everywhere I went, capturing the mundane and boring along with the granduous and graphic. I worked to catalog the bizarre nature of my everyday life mixed with a mysterious feeling running throughout, constantly making the viewer question what the subject is and what I am trying to communicate. Equal bits humorous and spooky, this project explores dualing themes of: youth/growing up/love/lust/hatred/confusion/celebration/euphoria/ melancholy/loneliness/friendship/identity.

This is where the title, Palinode, comes from; I propose an idea, then later use another moment to take it back or restate it. The project ultimately culminated into 91 page photo book, hard cover bound, stamped and embossed
