Born and raised in the Rust Belt of Western Pennsylvania, I have a soft spot for small towns and well-worn cities, forgotten places, nature, and nostalgia. My aim is to seek out beauty wherever I can find it, and to celebrate goodness and humor in the midst of the mundane.
Life is so beautiful, despite everything.
