I'm in a vicious cycle of saying I should post something to social media, then taking on new work...and not having time to plan out social media posts.

Regardless, here is a look back and some highlights with Lekko Coffee this past September. Matt and his team do phenomenal work to bring ethically sourced, living wage coffee at every step of the process—from the farmers to the barista serving your morning cup—ensuring that the product you receive is treated with respect at every step. If you're ever in or near Cleveland, make it your mission to stop by and see what it's about.

The night before heading up, my wife said I was sleep-talking again and said "this needs a dash of whimsy." No idea what I was dreaming about exactly, but when arriving to the Lekko I noticed the miniature dinosaurs throughout the cafe and at the register. Well, there's the whimsy.

Small details and a personal touch are required in each cup of coffee and your commercial photography needs. Let's chat if you need something for your small business!

🌍📸 Happy World Photography Day!

Photography is more than just capturing beautiful images. It’s about documenting our world, telling the stories of our communities, and preserving moments that matter. Every picture we take is a reflection of how we see and connect with the people and places around us.

Last month, I decided to submit a photo for the Roebling Bridge Photo Contest in the Open-Professional category. The open category encouraged creative approaches—anything from short videos to AI-generated images. My entry, however, was made entirely “in camera” through the viewfinder, emulating the double exposure film technique by stacking images on top of each other. Aside from cropping and mild adjustments, no Photoshop or generative AI was used.

I’m honored that this piece has made it to the public voting round!

You can vote for this and your other favorites now through September 1st:

On a day that celebrates photography worldwide, I’m reminded that each of us has the ability to frame our own perspective—whether it’s through a camera, a phone, or even memory. When we choose to capture and share our vision, we’re contributing to the larger story of our community.
