I use the camera to delve into the strangeness of my small West Texas hometown, capturing the characters who shape the community and connecting them to my personal experiences. By blending the practices of journalism and documentary photography, I explore working life, regional culture, the economy, and the concept of home in Pecos—a desert town marked by the cycles of the oil boom and bust.

Through photography, along with occasional video, text, and mixed media, I document how communities express their lives through food, family, music, dance, and fashion. My work aims to sensitively portray rural life, highlighting intimate moments: families at home, local workers, teens riding rodeo horses, my own relatives, and the vast West Texas landscape. I embrace the "boredom" of a place often perceived as having nothing to do, while revealing the rich personal and collective narratives beneath the surface.

At its heart, my work is a love letter to Pecos, grounded in a deep commitment to documenting its history and culture with closeness, care, and respect.
