Steven Colyer

Last year I made a new friend named Steven Colyer. He's one of the most talented + relatable people I've met in a while with a passion for music. Last month he auditioned for The Voice, almost making it through with two chances, but there's obviously a bigger opportunity planned for his life than a television competition. An album under his band Hot Talk will be released in the months to come, for now listen + watch +  follow

City Flower

City flower, raised under street lights, a hothouse rose.
Born in the shade, it could not hold her 

& that silver skyline could never keep her from blooming.

Tour Diary : The Mynabirds : Summer 2012

2012 was the most incomparable year of my life for many reasons, and one of the best & most unexpected reasons was having the opportunity to not do one tour, but two tours with The Mynabirds. The following days captured were spent in the Midwest, catching moments and locations that each day brought. The photographs below are my personal favorite memories shared through 35mm film, instant film, and digital.

The obsession inside of me for the road and the beauty of this world, it's people, and their dreams is a measureless yearning on my heart, heavy with anxiousness and purpose. I'm impatient to see what 2013 holds
