About
An archive (book of photography) that documents the lives of my friends and partners in crime in post financial crisis, pre covid (2009-2019) Los Angeles, CA
Impact
In our increasingly digital age, I strongly believe in the importance of physical media that is not accessible to prying AIeyes. I hope to inspire others to share less online and self publish their artwork IRL.
Progress
Completed first selection of photographs from 80,000 frames (film & digital.) After the second pass the real work begins of narrowing down the final selection to 200 images, laying out the book and getting photo releases signed.
Team
After five years of living outside California I am in good place to look back on this body of work with clear eyes and open heart. I intend for this book to be my magnum opus, encompassing the greatest moments from this kaleidoscopic era.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
