I know I’m not the first person to photograph this way, and I don’t claim to be a pioneer. I’m simply following my own instincts and making the work that feels honest to me.

I’m a self-taught artist living in San Diego, California. I originally began as a street photographer, wandering around with my camera and documenting the world as I found it.

Then something strange happened.

After a few difficult days of depression and no sleep, I had an incredibly vivid dream. I found myself on another planet. An entity had taken me there, and everything looked familiar yet completely different—blurry, distorted, colorful, and dreamlike. It looked almost like Earth, but the way I might see it through a dream.

The entity told me to make art with my camera the way I saw its planet.

It told me that I see their world this way because I’m not entirely from here—and that the blurriness was a kind of protection, keeping me from becoming overwhelmed by everything around me.

When I woke up, I was genuinely freaked out by how real the dream had felt.

So I decided to listen.

I picked up my camera and started making photographs that way.

Blurry. Abstract. Colorful. Strange. Imperfect.

I stopped trying to photograph the world exactly as it appeared and started photographing how it felt to me.

And something unexpected happened.

It calmed me.

What began as a strange dream became a way of seeing. And that way of seeing has become my art.
