For years I’ve carried a camera the way some folks carry a journal: to jot down the moments that refuse to sit still. Those moments — and the stories they unlock — have finally found a permanent home at Still Stories, my new image-driven newsletter. And soon, my custom web address will go live as the front door to the site. More on that soon.
What is it?
Each post begins with a single photograph (sometimes more, sometimes fresh, sometimes decades old) and unfolds into the memory, mood, or bit of history tucked inside it. No gear reviews, no swipe-fast gimmicks — just one frame, one story, and room to breathe.
Why another newsletter?
Because the internet keeps accelerating. Still Stories tilts the other way: slow, reflective, meant to be read with a cup of something warm. If you’re tired of doom-scrolling but still crave art and narrative, this is your pause button.
Posting rhythm
Mon / Wed / Fri — a full Still Stories essay with an accompanying photograph.
Tue / Thu — short Slow Notes: brief reflections on living at a gentler tempo.

If you’ve followed my work for a while, you’ll recognize some of the images — the Houston gravestones, the Mexican bullring, the quiet Dallas street corners — but you’ll meet their back-stories for the first time. If we’re just now crossing paths, welcome; I hope these small narratives help you travel a little slower.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you inside Still Stories.
