A little bit of BTS from my recent exhibition with @socialsanctuaryla at @basecaffe.la. Honored to be showcasing with the other talented artists and as part of @dtlaartnight.

Thanks to everybody who came through to support. This was my first time showing my photography and video work together. More to come!

The work is up until the end of the month so go check it out at @basecaffe.la! 🏃🏾‍♂️💨🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Check out @eddierhea and @epiphanyciers discussing the themes and characters of the film. Head to our Seed and Spark (Link in bio 🔗) to see the entire video and to learn more about the film and how to support.

We’ve got 40 days left to raise enough to get this production started. We’re already raised 6% of our goal and every donation counts. No contribution is too small. Thank you to those who have already jumped in to make this a reality!

Follow us on Instagram and on @seedandspark to stay in the loop. (Link in bio 🔗)

Just a quick morning beach walk. The tide was extremely low and I did not have the shoes to slip and slide on those rocks, but we started the day with a little quiet.

Image Makers of LA: Uplifting the storytellers in our community shaping visual culture

Meet Eddie Hemphill! (@eddierhea) 🤝🏾

Hemphill is a photographer, filmmaker and creative producer whose work explores how identity, memory, human impact and the environment bend and shape one another to create our lived conditions. As a photographer, his images explore the emotional architecture of everyday life, capturing intimate moments that invite inquiry into deeper truths just beneath the surface.

Additionally, Hemphill is a Black Image Center alumni who attended our 2025 artist residency, California Coast in Color! We’re thrilled to be highlighting some of the work that came out of his time in the cohort. You can view more of his project, Black in the Blue, at @projectblackintheblue

Earlier this week, I got the chance to see @chrispowemusic, @weldonscottmusic, and @jordanproffer performing as the Chris Powe Trio at @Malbon West Hollywood. Amazing musicians with a deep appreciation for music and a dope production by @daddocrutherford. A very vibey situation.

Somehow we’re already almost 4 months into the year. It’s been an absolutely unhinged 2026, but I’ve find time for joy and for creating.

Shout out to everybody who has been down to work and to play and do everything in between. There’s some @projectblackintheblue, some InContext, some @ahousecalledzanzibar, and some everyday life in here. Enjoy. 🙏🏾

‘InContext’ feat. Ashley Younniä

I’ve recently had the honor to be in community with the endlessly talented DJ, music curator, and fellow Gemini, Ashley Younniä (@ashleyyounnia). Over the last little bit, I’ve witnessed her not only dream, but build new spaces with @achildrenofthesound and @ahousecalledzanzibar. Both of these projects are rooted as much in the history and depth of our music as they are rooted in care. Ashley is a global builder of soundscapes and I got to photograph just a glimpse of the magic from which those soundscapes are sourced.

Ashley on her home:
“My home is where I can rest in my curiosity. Here I get to be in exploration of rest and play. Being in the duality of myself as both home body and busy body. Moving from couch to my studio set gives this Gemini brain of mine the affirmation to be in flow of my desires. It’s my meditation. My sanctuary.”

‘InContext’ documents people in what for many is their most intimate setting — their homes and neighborhoods. It is a space of reflection, intimacy, and commons. This project began during study with @strudelmedialive.

This week marks my final class for @strudelmedialive’s Innovative Strategies for Exploring the Human Condition Masterclass with Fred Ritchin (@fredritchin). My mind is blown.

The course explored new and alternative ways of investigating what it means to be human in 2026, while giving tools and examples to enlarge our vision as photographers, producing innovative works of our own.

I’m super proud of the work I made over the last 5 weeks. I was pushed into absolutely new directions and I’m so excited to keep exploring these new techniques. I’ve started to really understand how images can be an experience rather than a single frame. Truly grateful for everybody who made this happen — @anjahitze @strudelmedialive @sahaiwithani.

Thank you to @ladyblake23 and @hay.low for always being down for the shenanigans.

The last slide is an evolving project that you’ll be able to explore soon titled, A Good Life is Mostly Coming Home. 🚶🏾🙏🏾✈️

reflections and dreaming at dawn.

A few from a morning shoot on the coast with @etherealchasing. Forever grateful for the grounding and the perspective that the ocean provides.
