Journal

It’s an interesting life, being a photographer. Here are some stories from the journey.

I’m doing a lot of my writing on Substack these days (as of 2024), so go check that out. Also, I’ve moved food & travel themed writing over to Epicure Nicholas. The intention here is to talk more about art and architecture going forward.

An excessive amount of coffee drinking throughout the city, and everywhere else I’ve been, has lead to a significant collection of coffee imagery.

This coffee shop just popped into my head out of nowhere almost 4 years later. Maybe it’s a sign. Maybe I’m just tired.
