2017 was the biggest year of my life. After five years of hard, unglamorous toil breaking into the freelance world, this was the first year that it felt like my life was finally falling into place. In that time, Lexie and I ended our relationship (on mutual, supportive terms and we're very happy for each other), my personal business grew a ton, I helped begin a new business with some of my best friends (Markham Park Studio), I travelled to 25 different states, spent over 100 days traveling, slept on over 50 couches, worked on my first union feature film, and saw my nephew come into the world. Along the way I captured many of these moments, and I decided to publish them here as a sort of photo essay to chronicle a pivotal year. Or perhaps it's more of a journal of reality as I lived it. Either way, please enjoy these images of my wildest and most fulfilling year yet, presented chronologically.
