I don’t see images in my mind.

I have total aphantasia. I cannot picture a face, replay a scene, or recreate sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or touch in my mind.

I also remember much of my life as information rather than as experiences I can mentally revisit.

Photography is how I pay attention, remember, and stay connected to the world.

A camera has been part of my life since childhood, long before I had language for how my mind works. Every photograph gives me a record I cannot create internally. It preserves not only what something looked like, but the people, relationships, work, and small details that made the moment what it was.

That shapes what I notice and why I treat documentation with care.

How I Work

I prioritize observation over direction.

I will guide when it is useful, but I am not interested in staging moments, forcing interactions, or making real life perform for the camera.

I work calmly, show up prepared, move efficiently, and pay attention to how a place or group actually operates.

I look for movement, repetition, interactions, transitions, and details that might seem ordinary now but become important once they change.

My goal is not to manufacture significance. It is to make a careful, useful record of what is already there.

Background

I was raised on a small tobacco farm in Western Daviess County, where I still live.

A camera has been in my hand for as long as I can remember, even though many of those earliest photographs have been lost to time.

I studied economics at Universiteit van Amsterdam and earned a B.S. in Business Management from Western Kentucky University.

Before making photography my full-time work, I co-owned a health insurance agency. That experience taught me how to ask direct questions, understand practical needs, and distinguish between what sounds appealing and what is actually useful.

Photography became the place where observation, independence, business, and making things came together.

Still.Life. Photography

Still.Life. Photography is the current name of the photography work previously presented as TYMEALLO. The name has changed, but the photographer, archive, relationships, and commitment to documenting remain the same.

Still.Life. Photography is built around honest documentation of people, work, places, and moments that would otherwise pass without a lasting record.

I work with businesses, artists, organizations, teams, families, makers, and individuals who value direct communication, consistent work, and an observational approach.

No awkward poses. No forced interactions. No artificial moments.

Just thoughtful photography of what is actually happening, made to remain useful after the moment has passed.

If you need photography that pays attention to how things really happen, let’s talk.
