Images from a 2024 Crossfit Competition in Memphis. People seemed to enjoy the pain of competition and the community of fitness. I can relate. I am sharing the more investigative images.

Food trucks are always there for us.

Who Gives A Shit?

Desktop Screenshot on a night of realization that might have been the premise of another project, but who the fuck am I kidding? I have bigger problems and my dreams are just too expensive these days.

False Advertising

I don’t know if this was preserved or shabby-chic, nostalgic decor, but I just had to capture this back yard gem.

Union & Cleveland Ave.

Junkies, homeless and the mentally ill have all but claimed this corner of Memphis, TN. Boxes are used as temporary insulation during a winter day as someone naps at the bus stop.

Interior Power House building, 2011

Now repurposed as a movie theatre, this location was once a space that I used to exhibit a vanity solo exhibition in 2011. The space was later used as a rental for events and such.

A quick photo of landscape, city debris, horses and American fast-food.

Cashing out, New York Strip Club, 2006

Not the brightest moment of my life, but I can say that I eventually let my guard down and learned a lot about people, live choices, misfortune, luck and the sexualization of youth and trauma. Two Eastern European dancers cash out for the night in ill-fitted attire, exhausted from the night’s exchange. I worked as security then- too young to understand the effects, too old to feel sorry for myself.

Can Man 34th St., 2006

I didn’t know him, but I saw this guy every day for at least two years. And then, I didn’t.

Beale Street Flood of 2011

Not the first historic flood, but this was the first flood that I had ever seen in my hometown. Wealthy folks that lived downtown were given hotels to stay as insurance companies covered those downtown residents effects. And then there was everybody else.
