My father works manual labour jobs for half the year so he can photograph for its remainder. As a kid, he'd often ask me if I wanted to accompany him on a photography walk. At the break of dawn he'd saunter through the snow on Mount Royal with me in toe, snapping film photography of our surroundings. I was lucky to grow up in an apartment with a darkroom, and my dad could often be found basked in its red light, using prongs to dip things into chemicals I wasn't allowed to touch.

If I've inherited anything from my father, it's his love for the small details: The brief moments of intimacy we share with our surroundings. To me, photos are my biography -- a way to capture memories for nobody in particular except myself.

Unfortunately, film is expensive in 2025. Instead, I use a Canon SLR and favour in-camera techniques to generate artifacts, atmosphere, and light effects. Diffusion filters and defracting crystals allow me to shoot ethereal photos without fabricating artifacts via post-processing.
